  The status of searches for new particles and new physics during the past year
at the Fermilab Tevatron, at HERA and at LEP is summarized. A discussion of the
hints for the Standard Model Higgs boson from LEP2 data is presented. Searches
for non-Standard Model Higgs bosons are also described. Many searches have been
carried out for the particles predicted by supersymmetry theories, and a
sampling of these is given. There have also been searches for flavor changing
neutral currents in the interactions of the top quark. In addition, searches
for excited leptons, leptoquarks and technicolor are summarized.
