Abstract
A brief survey is given of studies of parity non-conserving phenomena in atomic physics and of the search for permanent atomic electric dipole moments (edm's). The latter can only occur if there is simultaneous violation of both parity and time-reversal invariance. The role of such experiments in testing the Standard Model is discussed. "P only" experiments are in quantitative agreement with the Standard Model. While the Model predicts edm's well below the present level of sensitivity, and none has yet been observed, the hope is for surprises.
