In the charmed particle studies using the bubble chamber at SLAC, more film was obtained. A measurement of the lifetimes of charmed mesons was published. The cascade experiment at BNL and the double-V experiment at Fermilab both saw great progress in refining data. Both of these efforts are on the verge of publication of results. The douple-phi experiment at Fermilab was run obtaining over three million triggers and a definite phi-phi signal, and advanced by construction efforts on a scintillator array to segment the Cherenkov counter, the signal processor electronics and the drift chambers. Theoretical work is continuing on the predictions of perturbative QCD. Leading and next-to-leading logarithm terms were investigated for deep inelastic Compton scattering. Scaling violations in deep inelastic scattering were analyzed. Calculations have been performed on gluon polarization in quark-gluon elastic scattering. Exclusive decays of J/psi were studied in an analysis to be expanded. Fourth-order QCD corrections to the longitudinal coefficient function in deep-inelastic scattering were calculated and published. A comparison was made between the principle of minimal sensitivity and other schemes for renormalization. Mathematical and physical problems concerning gravitation and general relativity continue to be investigated, especially questions of the possible time dependence of G, the gravitational constant.
