Abstract
We summarize some of the new results emerging from our recent multi-dimensional simulations of core collapse and explosion. We see a new role for rapid core oscillations and acoustic power in igniting asymmetrical supernova explosions and obtain explosions for all progenitors studied. Furthermore, we have explored the effects of rapid rotation and have estimated the degree of anisotropy of the emergent neutrino emissions in the generic context. All these aspects bear on the mechanisms of explosion and pulsar proper motion. While more detailed calculations are called for, if any of the newly-identified phenomena survive, we suggest that the field of supernova theory may be entering a new and productive phase.
