SUMMARY:The rise\, fall and rebirth of string models of the strong interac
 tions. - Jeff Harvey (U. Chicago)

DESCRIPTION:String theory was originally developed as a theory of the stro
 ng interactions.  This approach largely disappeared due to the  discovery 
 of asymptotic freedom and the development of QCD\, and string theory later
  came to be viewed as an approach to quantum gravity and unification. Rece
 nt developments growing out of the AdS/CFT correspondence have revived the
  connection between string theory and the strong interactions. I will desc
 ribe elements of this history and discuss recent progress in using string 
 theory to model the strong\ninteractions.
