  A nonsymmetric gravitational theory (NGT) is presented which is free of ghost
poles, tachyons and higher-order poles and there are no problems with
asymptotic boundary conditions. An extended Birkhoff theorem is shown to hold
for the spherically symmetric solution of the field equations. A static
spherically symmetric solution in the short-range approximation, $\mu^{-1} >
2m$, is everywhere regular and does not contain a black hole event horizon.
