A brief review of the stability of rotating relativistic stars is followed bya more detailed discussion of recent work on an instability of r-modes, modesof rotating stars that have axial parity in the slow-rotation limit. Thesemodes may dominate the spin-down of neutron stars that are rapidly rotating atbirth, and the gravitational waves they emit may be detectable.Comment: 14 pages PTPTeX v.1.0. Contribution to proceedings of the 1999 Yukawa International Semina
