The main purpose of this paper is to show that there exists a Souslin line if and only if there exists a countable chain condition space which is not weak-separable but has a generic π-base. If I is the closure of the isolated points in a space X, then X is said to be weak-separable if a first category set is dense in X – I. A π-base  is said to be generic if, whenever a member of
