  Some of the arguments which support the strong concensus for an $\Omega_o$ =
0.3, $\lambda_o$ = 0.7 model are reexamined. Corrections for Malmquist bias,
local flow and metallicity suggest a revised value for $H_o$ of 63 $\pm$ 6
km/s/Mpc, improving the age problems for an $\Omega_o$ = 1 universe. The latest
CMB results may require a high baryon density and hence new physics, for
example a strong lepton asymmetry. Difficulties for the $\Omega_o$ = 1 model
with cluster evolution, the baryon content of clusters, and the evidence from
Type Ia supernovae favouring low $\Omega_o$, $\Lambda > 0$ models, are
discussed critically.
