Abstract

The main part of this talk is a review and summary of how QCD is used in two main areas of nuclear physics, namely in determining the quark flavor and spin content of the proton and in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. Brief comments are made concerning effective theories in hadron physics and on the separation of various twists in using the operator product expansion to analyze hard processes.
