The 25'" Coral Gables Conference was the culmination of the series
that was begun in 1964. The conferences evolved under the titles
that in~lude: Symmetry Principles at High Energy; Fundamental
Interactions; Orbis Scientiae; and, occasionally, Unified Symmetry
in the Small and in the Large. There was a pause after the 2()1h
meeting in 1983 which was dedicated to P. A. M. Dirac. The
conferences were resumed in 1993. Some of the reminiscences
involved the absence of great minds who attended these meetings in
the past and who were no longer with us. The list includes, just to
name a few: Julian Schwinger, Robert Oppenheimer, Lars Onsager,
Robert Hofstater, Abdus Salam, Richard Feynman, Stanislov Ulam, P.
A. M. Dirac, Lord C. P. Snow, Eugene P. Wigner, Vladimir K.
Zworykin, and Dixie Lee Ray. Most of these people were among the
architects of modern physics and had participated in many of the
early Coral Gables Conferences. We miss them. These conferences
have contributed to the progress in high energy physics and
cosmology. This year, again, papers were presented on familiar
topics, such as neutrino masses, age and total mass of the
universe, on the nature of dark matter, and on supersymmetry. The
latter has now become a perennial issue. Like the weather, we all
talk about it, but, so far cannot do anything to affect it. Another
favorite subject was so-called monopoles, which theoretically
participate in phenomena like condensation, confinement of electric
charge, confinement of monopoles themselves, etc.
