✦ Synopsis

The final results of the MiniMax experiment at Fermilab where a search was made for evidence of Disoriented Chiral Condensates is reported; the negative conclusions are in contrast with the recent positive results reported by the Brazilian cosmic ray group. Accelerator results relating to the Pomeron and to hard diffraction are noted. Attention is drawn to the conspicuous lack of forward production data from accelerators which are particularly relevant to both the interpretation of cosmic ray physics and to non-perturbative QCD Strong Interaction physics.
