A brief review of the stability of rotating relativistic stars is followed by
a more detailed discussion of recent work on an instability of r-modes, modes
of rotating stars that have axial parity in the slow-rotation limit. These
modes may dominate the spin-down of neutron stars that are rapidly rotating at
birth, and the gravitational waves they emit may be detectable.
