Extract

As mentioned already in Morton Roberts' fine introduction, two features were striking in this Symposium's programme: the broad spectral range of observational data, and the strong emphasis on comparisons with external galaxies. I shall return to the latter item towards the end of my summary. Let us first review the spectral panorama, then scrutinize what it has taught us about our Galaxy.
