dc.description.abstractWe argue that the present evidence that the spin of the [tau] is 1/2 is circumstantial, and that a spin of 3/2 is not excluded. If the [tau] spin were 3/2, it would have important implications for the idea that leptons and quarks were composite states, perhaps allowing an explanation of the existence of three generations. Supergravity ideas could also be affected. Similar ideas suggest the b-quark could have spin-3/2; we give several ways to test this.en_US
