Soft interactions at high energy

Soft interactions are not easily disentangled from hard ones. In an operational definition of soft and hard processes one finds that at presently analyzed scales there is an interplay of soft and hard processes. As the scale increases, so does the amount of hard processes. So far, nothing is as soft nor as hard as we would like.Comment: 18 pages, latex 27 figures appended as uuencoded file.

Exclusive vector meson electroproduction at HERA

The latest results on exclusive vector meson electroproduction from HERA are reviewed. In particular, the new high-statistics measurements of the rho^0 electroproduction are presented and compared to several models.Comment: 8 pages, 15 figures, talk presented at the 12th internationa conference of elastic and diffractive scattering, Hamburg, May 21-25, 200
