Van der Waerden has shown that `almost' all monic integer
polynomials of degree n have the full symmetric group S_n as Galois group.
The strongest quantitative form of this statement known so far is due to
Gallagher, who made use of the Large Sieve.
In this talk we want to explain how one can use recent
advances on bounding the number of integral points on curves and surfaces
instead of the Large Sieve to go beyond Gallagher's result.
