Asymptotic Unconditionality in Banach Spaces

We show that a separable real Banach space embeds almost isometrically
in a space $Y$ with a shrinking 1-unconditional basis if and only if
$\lim_{n\to\infty}\|x^*+x_n^*\|=\lim_{n\to\infty}\|x^*-x_n^*\|$ whenever
$x^*\in X^*$, $(x_n^*)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a weak$^*$-null sequence and
both limits exist. If $X$ is reflexive then $Y$ can be assumed
reflexive. These results provide the isometric counterparts of recent
work of Johnson and Zheng.
