Can someone give an exact statement and reference for 

i) the "original" Poincare conjecture, i.e. on when homotopy spheres are 
   diffeomorphic or topological spheres, and
ii) the current state of affairs, viz. the "fake" R**4 of Freidman, Donaldson, 
    et. al.
iii) any information of the conjecture when n is 3 (Milgram once mentioned a 
     possible counterexample) ?
