Description

The author reviews the observations and theory of binary stars in globular and open clusters. In globular clusters the main puzzle is the total absence of giant spectroscopic binaries in combination with the presence of X-ray sources, cataclysmic variables, and blue stragglers normally associated with binary systems and mass transfer therein.
