The opening up of new earth-based spectral windows, e.g., infrared, submillimeter, and microwave, has given impetus to revised interpretations of star formation. Among the questions considered are: whether stars of different masses form by essentially the same processes; if a giant complex of dark clouds fragments hierarchically; if a theoretical model can be constructed to account for the collapse of individual stars which yield tracks in the HR diagram; if stars in PMS evolution obey the known laws of angular momentum conservation; if stars rotate monotonically less rapidly as they evolve toward the main sequence, etc.
