Book excerpt: This is a review of the recent results on the [tau] lepton. The results include precise measurements of the lifetime, measurements of the decay [tau]/sup /minus// .-->. .pi./sup /minus//2.pi.°.nu./sub [tau]/ with much improved precision, limits on decay modes containing [eta] mesons, including the second-class-current decay /tau//sup /minus// .-->. .pi./sup /minus//[eta].nu./sub /tau//, and limits on exotic decay modes. The implications of these results on the discrepancy in the one-charged-particle decay modes are discussed. 43 refs., 4 figs., 2 tabs.
