Abstract
Four years of TeV observations of the Blazar Markarian 421 (Mrk 421) by the Whipple collaboration are reviewed and long term variability patterns presented. The dramatic short term flaring of May 1996 is discussed in some detail. Based on the brevity of these flares, estimates are made of the Doppler boost factor and the size of the emission region within the source.
