1t is extremely encouraging at this time. however, that., single consistent theoretical picture seems to be tierging which o" the one hand satisfies the fundamental tenets of field thecry and on the other provides a unifying view of total cross sections, elastic cross section, and inclusive reactions for all channels in hadron physics. It remains a major challenge in the near future M subject this theory to further confrontations with experbmntal data. I acknowledge many stimulating discussions with and T. T. 5%

The predicted pionization has been found to exist. The energy dependence of this process has not yet been carefully checked and may prove difficult at existing energies

The predicted slow +hrinkage in the slope parameter (b) at high energy is,in good agreement with the data
