Summary
The basic physical assumptions and results of Landau's hydrodynamic model of particle production are reviewed. It is argued that these results have sufficient descriptive and predictive power in strong-interaction phenomenology, including recent RHIC data, to warrant a closer examination of the physical assumptions.
