The newly acquired experimental data on strangeness production in heavy-ion reactions from 1-10 AGeV is used to probe the physics of in-medium properties of kaons, multi-body collisions, and the search for the baryon-rich quark-gluon plasma.Talk Presented at Strangeness in Quark Matter '98, Padua July 1998Nuclear Experimenttext
