We present the recent developments and applications in the Yennie-Frautschi-Suura (YFS) Monte Carlo approach to higher order radiative corrections to the SU(2)_L x U₁ x SU(3)^c model of elementary particle interactions. We focus on the high precision Z⁰ physics and on recent results relevant to the physics issues for the SSC/LHC type colliding beam device. In both areas of investigation, we conclude that the YFS Monte Carlo approach permits a complete assessment of the role of the higher order radiative effects in the comparison between theory and experiment at the required level of precision.
