DESCRIPTION:We review the experimental evidence for Einstein's general rel
 ativity. Tests of the Einstein Equivalence Principle support the postulate
 s of curved spacetime\, while solar-system experiments strongly confirm we
 ak-field general relativity.  We describe the status of the recently concl
 uded Stanford Gyroscope Experiment.  Binary pulsars provide tests of gravi
 tational-wave damping and of strong-field general relativity. Recently ope
 rational laser interferometric gravitational-wave observatories\, and a fu
 ture space interferometer\, may provide new tests via the properties of gr
 avitational waves.\n\n
