The 28th conference from the Rochester series was the major high energy physics conference in 1996. Volume one contains short reports on new theoretical and experimental results. Volume two consists of the review talks presented in the plenary sessions.

Brock; problem of alpha s, M. Schmelling; theoretical progress in strong interactions, G. Sterman; top quark, P. Tipton and C. Hill; heavy flavours, J. Richman and G. Martinelli; quark masses and mixing, L. Gibbons; status of electroweak interactions, A. Blondel and S. Pokorski; FCNC processes, A. Buras; neutrino masses and oscillations, A. Smirnov and Y. Suzuki; searches for new particles, P. Mattig; lattice QCD, J. Flynn; nonperturbative field theory, S. Ferrara; supersymmetry and GUTs, G.G.
