If G is the closure of $L_{∞}$ in exp L₂, it is proved that the inclusion between rearrangement invariant spaces E ⊂ F is strictly singular if and only if it is disjointly strictly singular and E ⊊ G. For any Marcinkiewicz space M(φ) ⊂ G such that M(φ) is not an interpolation space between $L_{∞}$ and G it is proved that there exists another Marcinkiewicz space M(ψ) ⊊ M(φ) with the property that the M(ψ) and M(φ) norms are equivalent on the Rademacher subspace. Applications are given and a question of Milman answered.
