Initial state interactions are shown to violate standard factorization for massive lepton pair production and hadron-induced hard-scattering inclusive reactions order-by-order in QCD perturbation theory. Initial and final state interactions lead to a number of new physical phenomena including K/sub 1/ fluctuations, color correlations, anomalous nuclear number dependence of inclusive cross sections, and induced hadron production in the central rapidity region.
