review text: The classification of compact and simply connected PL 4-manifolds states that the homeomorphism classes coincide with the homotopy classes, and that these are classified by the intersection form. The author demonstrates that ``most'' of these classes with an indefinite intersection form can be represented by a tight polyhedral embedding into some Euclidean space.
