Abstract
The evidence for electroweak radiative corrections not contained in a( m(Z)) is examined. At low energies there is very strong evidence in th e analysis of the unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. A t e+e- and ppBAR collider experiments the current direct signals are n ot strong, but there is substantial indirect evidence, which will like ly become sharper when m(t) is determined. The advantage of using (DEL TAr)res as a measure of these effects is emphasized. In order to impro ve the direct evidence, more accurate measurements of mw and the on-re sonance asymmetries are indicated.
