  I very briefly review the highlights of the fifth workshop on the physics of
the tau lepton and its neutrino. There has been much progress in many
sub-fields, which I touch upon in this review: the couplings of the tau to the
$Z^0$ and $W^\pm$; the leptonic branching fractions, lifetime, and tests of
universality; the Lorentz structure of tau decays; searches for neutrinoless
decays; limits on weak and electromagnetic dipole moments and CP violation;
inclusive semi-hadronic decays, spectral functions, sum rules, QCD, and
applications; substructure in tau decays to three pseudoscalars; tau decays to
kaons; limits on the mass of the tau neutrino; tau neutrinos from solar,
atmospheric, and AGN sources; accelerator searches for neutrino oscillations;
and prospects for the future.
