It is argued that both observations and theory indicate that radiation damping plays an important rôle in pulsar emission. The two-mode behavior as well as the observed value of the brightness temperature can both be understood as a result of radiation damping. In this context, a possible cause for the enhanced depolarization in the wings of pulsar profiles is discussed.
