  I will review the latest developments in understanding the high-energy
emission of rotation-powered pulsars and magnetically-powered Anomalous X-ray
Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters (SGRs). These fields have been
extremely active in the last few years, both observationally and theoretically,
driven partly by new X-ray data from Chandra, XMM-Newton and RXTE. At the same
time, the Parkes Multibeam Survey has discovered over 700 new radio pulsars,
some of them young and coincident with EGRET sources, and others having
magnetar-strength magnetic fields. These new observations are raising important
questions about neutron star birth and evolution, as well as the properties of
their high-energy emission.
