(Kursunoglu, Mintz , Perlmutter , eds.) PREFACE The 25'" Coral Gables Conference was the culmination of the series that was begun in 1964. The conferences evolved under the titles that in~lude: Symmetry Principles at High Energy; Fundamental Interactions; Orbis Scientiae; and, occasionally, Unified Symmetry in the Small and in the Large. There was a pause after the 2()1h meeting in 1983 which was dedicated to P.A.M. Dirac. The conferences were resumed in 1993. Some of the reminiscences involved the absence of great minds who attended these meetings in the past and who were no longer with us. The list includes, just to name a few: Julian Schwinger, Robert Oppenheimer, Lars Onsager, Robert Hofstater, Abdus Salam, Richard Feynman, Stanislov Ulam, P.A.M. Dirac, Lord C.P. Snow, Eugene P. Wigner, Vladimir K. Zworykin, and Dixie Lee Ray. Most of these people were among the architects of modern physics and had participated in many of the early Coral Gables Conferences. We miss them. These conferences have contributed to the progress in high energy physics and cosmology. This year, again, papers were presented on familiar topics, such as neutrino masses, age and total mass of the universe, on the nature of dark matter, and on supersymmetry. The latter has now become a perennial issue. Like the weather, we all talk about it, but, so far cannot do anything to affect it. Another favorite subject was so-called monopoles, which theoretically participate in phenomena like condensation, confinement of electric charge, confinement of monopoles themselves, etc. Our 1998 meeting will be focused on the subject matter of the physics of mass. This will include, the masses of the neutrinos, of elementary particles, of black holes, and of the universe at large. "What is the origin of mass?" is also among the questions that will be posed at our next meeting. The Trustees and the Chainnan of the Global Foundation, Inc., wish to extend special thanks to Edward Bacinich of Alpha Omega Research Foundation for his continuing generous support including the 1997 Orbis Scientiae. The Editors Coral Gables, Florida v ABOUT THE GLOBAL FOUNDATION, INC. The Global Foundation, Inc., utilizes the world's most important resource ... people. The Foundation consists of distinguished men and women of science and learning, and of outstanding achievers and entrepreneurs from industry, governments, and international organizations, along with promising and enthusiastic young people. These people convene to form a unique and distinguished interdisciplinary entity to address global issues requiring global solutions and to work on the frontier problems of science.
