It turns out that terms to this and higher orders in the expansion may become important in strong gravitational fields, even though the post-newtonian limit coincides with that of General Relativity. This suggests that strong gravitational fields can only be studied by exact solutions of the field equations.4 pages, LaTeX, no figures, to appear in the proceedings of the `2nd. mexican school on gravitation and mathematical physics'General Relativity and Quantum Cosmologytext
