      The great advances in X-ray observations in the past two
years with Chandra and XMM-Newton have lead to some sweeping
conclusions about cooling flows. Using these results combined with recent 
optical, infrared and sub-mm observations, it is possible that a solution to
the long-running debate over the fate of the cooling gas can be found.
