  Two lines of thought exist as to the nature of Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters
(SGRs) and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs). On the one hand,we have neutron
stars with super-critical magnetic fields, which spin-down the stars and power
the gamma-ray bursts. On the other hand, are neutron stars with typical pulsar
magnetic fields, which are spun-down by magnetospheric ``propeller'' torques
from fallback or fossil disks in addition to magnetic dipole radiation. Many
observational facts are available for comparing and contrasting these two
concepts. The facts are described and whether or not each is compatible with
these concepts is presented.
