Quantitative comparisons of the results for single- and two-mass clusters in pre- and post-collapse (including three-body binaries) with direct collisional N-body simulations and their relevance for the development of anisotropy in star clusters is discussed. A status report is given on selected topics of current developments, which include stochastic binary formation and evolution, stellar evolution (mass loss), central massive star-accreting black holes in galactic nuclei and extensions to axisymmetric rotating models.
