In contrast with galaxies, these star clusters represent unique laboratories for learning about two-body relaxation, mass segregation from equipartition of energy, stellar collisions, stellar mergers, core collapse, and tidal disruption. This review briefly summarizes some of the tremendous developments that have taken place during the last two decades. It ends with some recent results on tidal tails around galactic globular clusters and on a very massive globular cluster in M31.
