abstract
This contribution is the affirmative side of a debate held with Dr. L. Pietronero at Princeton in June, 1996. I present the observational evidence that the fractal behavior which characterizes the small scale galaxy distribution does not continue to arbitarily large scale, but has a well defined cutoff with an outer length scale of order 30h$^{-1}$ Mpc. For example, plots of the IRAS 1.2 Jy survey exhibit a very clear approach to homogeneity on large scale, in complete contradiction to the endless fractal model.

Fractal properties of the cosmic web
A review arguing that the galaxy distribution's fractal dimension is best measured with the structure function, and that the canonical correlation length understates the clustering scale.

Fractal Properties of the Cosmic Web
A review arguing that correlation functions alone cannot capture the cosmic web's structure, and that the structure function and 2D/3D comparisons are needed.
