  This talk covers a selection of topics that were discussed at this meeting in
the non-heavy-ion sessions: (a) The high $Q^{2}$ events at HERA and their
theoretical interpretation. (b) The issues of how well we know the predictions
of QCD, with a particular emphasis on resummation. (c) Anomalies in jet
production in association with $W$ bosons at the Tevatron and in dijet
production in deep-inelastic scattering. (d) Diffractive hard scattering.
