  This is the proceedings article for the concluding lecture of the 1999 High
Energy Physics Conference of the European Physical Society. In this article, I
review a number of topics that were highlighted at the meeting and have more
general importance in high energy physics. The major topics discussed include:
(1) precision electroweak physics, (2) CP violation, (3) new directions in QCD,
(4) supersymmetry spectroscopy, (5) the experimental physics of extra
dimensions.
