Abstract
In the last year there have been new observations of beauty by two fixed target experiments (E672/706 and E653). A few new results on charm have recently been presented by the photoproduction experiment E687 and by E789 and E769. An intriguing result on the purely muonic decay of charm comes from the CERN experiment WA75. These results are summarized and we conclude with a hint of the promise of E791, the very high statistics charm experiment, which is beginning to produce physics results
