The advent of a next linear e{sup {+-}}e{sup -} collider and back-scattered laser beams will allow the study of a vast array of high energy processes of the Standard Model through the fusion of real and virtual photons and other gauge bosons. As examples, The author discusses virtual photon scattering {gamma}{sup *}{gamma}{sup *} {yields} X in the region dominated by BFKL hard Pomeron exchange and report the predicted cross sections at present and future e{sup {+-}}e{sup -} colliders. The authors also discusses exclusive {gamma}{gamma} reactions in QCD as a measure of hadron distribution amplitudes and a new method for measuring the anomalous magnetic and quadrupole moments of the W and Z gauge bosons to high precision in polarized electron-photon collisions.
