The subject I am supposed to report on is intermediate bosons and unitary symmetry. This is a difficult subject for two reasons. The first is that there is at the present time no experimental evidence at all that these bosons really exist. The second one is that, even if they exist, we do not know whether they have really something to do with unitary symmetry. These are serious objections, especially the first. The reason why, in spite of it, I still want to give this talk is the following. Most theoretical physicists believe, I think, that we cannot live for ever with the weak interactions just being described by effective Fermi coupling constants and the like.

I shall briefly discuss the recent advances in the understanding of weak interactions which have been made possible by the discovery of approximate SU 3 symmetry of strong interactions (Gell-Mann 1961; Ne’eman 1961). I shall only consider here leptonic weak interactions since this is the field in which the SU 3 approach has been more successful.
