Topics in Weak Interaction Physics

The struggle to discover sensible field theoretic models for the weak interactions seems to have been vigorously renewed just recently, by G. t'Hooft, S. Weinberg, B. Lee, and others. I have not myself participated in these activities and am only vaguely acquainted with the details. Nevertheless, for an opening topic, I would like to alert you to some of the developments, which have already gone far enough to have interesting experimental implications....
