Issues in star and cluster formation

The upper mass stellar initial mass function is similar to the mass function of young star clusters.  I argue that this is a basic result expected when gravitational focusing on scales much larger than the Jeans length operate. I will also present recent VLBI studies of Orion which yield new distance estimates.
