We review the implications of adding a flavor doublet of color sextet quarks to QCD. Theoretical attractions include--- minimal'' dynamical symmetry breaking of the electroweak interaction, solution of the Strong CP problem via the heavy axion'' [eta][sub 6], and Critical Pomeron Scaling at asymptotic energies. Related experimental phenomena, which there may be evidence for, include---production of the [eta][sub 6] at LEP, large cross-sections for [ital W][sup +][ital W[minus]] and [ital Z][sup 0][ital Z0] pairs and very high energy jets in hadron colliders, and a hadronic threshold above which high-energy exotic'' diffractive processes appear in Cosmic Ray events.
