Close, F E

I review the emerging formation on the way quark, antiquark, and gluon distributions are modified in nuclei relative to free nucleons. I place particular emphasis on Drell-Yan and psi production on nuclei and caution against premature use of these as signals for quagma in heavy-ion collisions.
