  One cannot yet point to any firm string prediction. While many approximate
string ground states are known with interesting properties, we do not have any
argument that one or another describes what we observe around us, and for
reasons which appear fundamental we do not know how to systematically determine
even any rough quantitative properties. I argue here that we should examine
large classes of string ground states, trying to determine whether features
such as low energy supersymmetry, the pattern of supersymmetry breaking, the
presence of axions, large dimensions, or others might be generic.
