Abstract: This is the writeup of a talk at the 1998 AMS Winter
meeting, on Mike Boardman's early work on the Conneer-Floyd 
five-halves conjecture; it will appear in Contemporary Mathematics
239. The main point is that Boardman's technical innovations [in 
the case of unoriented geometric bordism of involutions] 
foreshadow recent work by Greenlees and Kriz, on equivariant 
homotopy-theoretic bordism. Attention is also drawn to related 
old work of Quillen on the use of the language of residues in
algebraic topology.
