The tidal and the primordial theories for the Magellanic Stream are examined in a frame of test-particle simulation for the interacting triple system of the Galaxy, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC). Difficulties of the radial velocity of the Stream still beset these two theories. Several new models for the Stream and the Clouds are briefly discussed in relation to the bending of the galactic disk, the past binary orbits of the LMC and SMC and also the Local Group and the Local Supercluster of galaxies.
