description

Some general arguments based on recent numerical work are presented to explain the different behavior of short-range, random-bond and long-range, random-site spin glasses. We then analyze an exactly soluble spin-glass model, which may be solved without replicas, and show that, except for the absence of microscopic metastable states, its main features are consistent with the long-range picture.
