Abstract
We review recent electroweak and B physics results obtained in polarized e+e- interactions at the SLC by the SLD experiment. Unique and precise measurements of the electroweak parameters Ae, Ab, Ac, Rb and Rc provide powerful constraints on the Standard Model. The excellent 3-D vertexing capabilities of SLD are further exploited to extract precise B+ and B0 lifetimes, as well as measurements of the time evolution of B0-B0-bar mixing.
