Abstract: Let be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables with
a common continuous distribution function and let denote the th upper order
statistic among , . For a large class of distributions, we obtain the
law of the iterated logarithm for , properly normalized. As a consequence,
we establish a law of the iterated logarithm for the spacings .
