Abstract

Introduction

This introductory review presents vignettes intended to convey to the non-specialist something of the style and scope of research with atomic and molecular beams. Necessarily, the episodes described are idiosyncratic and impressionistic, merely appetizers for the profuse smorgasbord of papers offered in this volume. Only a few pertinent references and kindred reviews are cited, as the smorgasbord provides ample guidance to to a burgeoning literature. In a typical format, replete with terse descriptions, the appetizer menu reads:
