Abstract:
There has now been worldwide agreement by the particle-physics community
that our next big machine should be an e+e- linear collider with c.m.s
energy from 90 GeV to about 1 TeV. The main candidates for this machine
are Tesla, NLC and JLC. An overview of the present status of
the discussion, including physics, machine, detectors and politics, will
be covered in this talk, whereby physics and detector for the
experimentation from M_Z to 500 GeV will be given the main emphasis.
