We review and update the effects of physics beyond the standard model
on CP asymmetries in B decays. These asymmetries can be significantly
altered if there are important new-physics contributions to B-q(0)-B-q
(0) mixing. This same new physics will, therefore, also contribute to
rare, flavor-changing B decays. Through a study of such decays, we sho
w that it is possible to partially distinguish the different models of
new physics.
