Abstract:	We study cluster evolution under the influence of the spherical component of the Galaxy. We find that: 1) heating on circular and low-eccentricity orbits can control the evolution of disk and inner halo clusters; 2) tidal limitation leads to evaporation of high-eccentricity clusters out to 20 kpc; 3) bulge shocking strongly constrains survival of clusters which form in an initial radial collapse. The results imply strong evolution near the peak of the observed cluster luminosity function.
