  In the presence of some forms of global anomalies, the equivalence theorem,
which relates the interactions of longitudinal gauge bosons to those of the
Goldstone bosons, is not always valid. This can occur when the Goldstone sector
contains an anomaly which is canceled in the gauge currents by the effects of a
different sector of the theory. The example of the Standard Model without Higgs
particles is used to illustrate this phenomena.
