A promising direction to find physics beyond the standard model is to look
for violation of L-e,L-mu,L-tau conservation. Ln particular the process e(-
)e(-) --> mu(-)mu(-) with the exchange of a gauge bilepton has a striking s
ignal without background and is predicted in the most economical model to h
ave a cross-section an order of magnitude higher than previous estimates. (
