We present a unified translation of LTL formulas into nondeterministic Büchi automata, limit-deterministic Büchi automata (LDBA), and deterministic Rabin automata (DRA). The translations yield automata of asymptotically optimal size (double or single exponential, respectively). All three translations are derived from one single Master Theorem of purely logical nature. The Master Theorem decomposes the language of a formula into a positive Boolean combination of languages that can be translated into ω-automata by elementary means. All three translations are direct and no intermediate constructions are used.
