Following the earlier lAU General Assemblies in Montreal (1979), Patras (1982) and Oelhi (1985). the XXth IAU GA was held in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, from 2-11 August 1988. This was the first time in the United States since 1961. About 2,000 participants listened to more than 1,000 talks during more than 250 sessions, organized by 40 IAU Commissions. In addition, there were three Invited Oiscourses and seven oneday Joint Oiscussions. A full report will appear in the IAU Transactions and Highlights. In the meantime, and for the benefit of those Messenger readers who were not present, here is a small selection of items from the GA. They were mostly written by participating ESO astronomers at the editor's request and should only be regarded as personal reflections, culled from the enormous information flow. Others are adapted from the excellent daily newspaper, IAU Today and unsigned notes are by the editor.
