Typical features of glass phenomenology such as the Vogel-Fulcher law, the Kauzmann paradox and the Adam-Gibbs relationship are shown to follow from the recently discovered mapping of glasses to Ising spin glasses in a magnetic field. There seems to be sufficient universality near the glass transition temperature $T_g$ such that study of the spin glass system can provide semi-quantitative results for supercooled liquids.
