Abstract

Recent results in light hadron spectroscopy are reviewed. Attention is given to the requirements of precision determinations in lattice gauge theory. Different methods for extracting the running coupling constant αS\alpha_S are compared. Some recent results in determining the nature of the interaction between static quarks are also discussed.
