The phenomena of confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking are basic
to understanding hadron observables. They can be explored using Dyson-Schwinger
equations. The existence of a systematic, nonperturbative and symmetry
preserving truncation of these equations enables the proof of exact results in
QCD, and their illustration using simple but accurate models. We provide a
sketch of the material qualitative and quantitative success that has been
achieved in the study of pseudoscalar and vector mesons. Efforts are now
turning to the study of baryons, which we exemplify via a calculation of
nucleon weak and pionic form factors.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures. Contribution to the proceedings of the "Xth
