Title: Flavor Delicacies

Abstract: 

In their second year of operation, the B factories BaBar and Belle
(together with CLEO) are providing a wealth of new data on CP
violation and rare decays in the B system, which are beginning to
have an impact on our understanding of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa
mechanism of quark flavor mixing. Ongoing advances in this rapidly
growing field are discussed, and some possibilities for new flavor
physics beyond the Standard Model are explored.
