Abstract
Let me begin by commenting on the title I have chosen for these talks. It seems to me that, for what we know, realistic is an adjective which cannot be attributed to the picture of deep inelastic physics which today dominates the high-energy physics scene, and is based on quantum chromodynamics (QCD)*. And before people get scandalized, and recite the amazing list of striking successes of this theory, let me try to explain why I believe that there is a fundamental lack of realism in the theoretical ideas most of my colleagues are now pursuing.
