Abstract
In this contribution I have given a brief survey of some of the most interesting new particle searches which can be performed at LEP. Particular emphasis has been given to the particles (Higgs bosons, supersymmetry) whose existence is motivated by attempts to understand the masses of the elementary particles. There are many other aspects to LEP physics, such as precision measurements on the Z0 peak, toponium, QCD studies, and looking at the reaction e+e− → W+W−. However, I think that these few examples are sufficient to show that LEP physics will be very interesting, to Jack and to the rest of us.
