I will use this opportunity to discuss some reasonably well understood and other apparently paradoxical features of the 'cuprate' materials exhibiting this phenomenon. Although the main interest in cuprates initially came from their unusually high transition temperatures, it is becoming increasingly clear that, ironically, their key properties become most visible when the transition temperature is deliberately made as low as possible. I will discuss some conceptual problems that are raised by recent experiments in this 'criminally underdoped' regime of high-temperature superconductors and outline their possible resolution. --------------------------------- ‹ครF@ยŽRŠw‰@‘ๅŠw@‚Q‚Pข‹ICOEƒvƒƒOƒ‰ƒ€
