Additional Information: | © 1992. Submitted on 16 Sept. 1992. This report was heavily influenced by discussions with participants in the workshop on Quantum Aspects of Black Holes at the Aspen Center for Physics. The evolution of my thinking about black hole physics has been facilitated by many colleagues, especially Tom Banks, Sidney Coleman, Steve Giddings, Stephen Hawking, Alex Ridgway, Andy Strominger, Lenny Susskind, Kip Thorne, Sandip Trivedi, and Frank Wilczek.
