The first volume of two that comprise the proceedings of the August 1996 meeting. Ten plenary papers discuss topics that include what we know about the top quark, reflections on the discovery of the tau lepton, string theory dualities, precision electroweak measurements, and the triumph of the standard model. One hundred and thirty-eight contributed papers are arranged in sections that include SUSY and SUSY-GUTS, other beyond the standard model physics, Higgs, new particles, new interactions and compositeness, Planck scale, guons and jets, rapidity gaps, inclusive productions, direct photons and two- photon reactions, and QCD theory.
