Evans Columbia University, New York, NY, USA ABSTRACT Substantial advances in our understanding of several aspects of QCD have been achieved in the recent past using heavy quarks as a tool. However, many open questions still remain. These successes and puzzles are highlighted by the latest measurements of heavy quark production at the Tevatron, HERA and fixed tar- get experiments
