Soft pomeron exchange at high energy includes minijet ProductiOn at ce
ntral rapidity values. This predicts copious production of minijets in
deep inelastic scattering at small x, which is closely related to the
fact that nuW2 exhibits Regge behaviour. It helps to explain also how
the integrated inclusive cross-section for minijet production in gamm
ap or pp collisions can be much greater than the total cross-section.
