review text: A Riemannian manifold \(M\) is said to be weakly symmetric if for every two points \(p\) and \(q\) in \(M\) there is an isometry of \(M\) interchanging \(p\) and \(q\). The authors prove that every geodesic in a weakly symmetric space is an orbit of a one-parameter group of isometries of \(M\).
