In this paper, we construct two kinds of Boolean algebras with extreme cellular properties and nice embedding properties. The extreme cellular properties are a σj-linked but not σj + 1-linked and ccc but not σ — 2-linked. The nice embedding properties are that they are ZF-definable subalgebras of both P/F and R (see Preliminaries for notation). It is the author's opinion that R contains much of the “ZF-strength” of P/F.
