We derive, from first principles, the equations of Lee which exhibit wormhole solutions. The interpretation of such solutions becomes more transparent: they are local extrema of the action which contribute to transition amplitudes between states of definite charge. Hence the charge carried by the wormhole is quantized. We briefly review Coleman's mechanism for the vanishing of the cosmological constant, with emphasis on the problem of the vanishing of Newton's constant G. A mechanism is proposed that could naturally make 1/G a bounded function of the wormhole parameters.
