Tau Charm Factories proposed for future machines will provide powerful and unique facilities to study a variety of physics topics: the tau lepton, charm mesons, charmonium and the J/{psi} decays. These topics cover the physics of the members of the first and second quark doublets and the third lepton doublet. A workshop held at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center reviewed the physics, the machine and the detector for such a facility. In this paper, highlights of this meeting will be reviewed. We will begin with a short sketch of the machine issues and then briefly describe topics in tau, charm and charmonium-J/{psi} physics. 49 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
