Abstract
It has now become possible to observe appreciable numbers of hadronica lly produced lepton pairs in mass ranges where the contributions of th e photon and Z(0) are comparable. Consequently, in the reaction <p(p)o ver bar>-->l(-)l(+)+..., substantial forward-backward asymmetries can be seen. These asymmetries provide a test of the electroweak theory in a new regime of energies, and can serve as diagnostics for any new ne utral vector bosons coupling both to quarks and to charged lepton pair s.
