review text: The author deals with the octahedron theorem in Laguerre plane and in Minkowski three-space. The cycles and spears of the real Laguerre plane are represented by the points and null planes of Minkowski space. He outlines the correspondence between these two theorems, gives a metric vector space proof of the octahedron theorem and discusses the generalization of both theorems to more general spaces.
