Recent results for the spectrum of light hadrons provide clear evidence for the failure of quenched QCD and encouraging signs that simulations with dynamical sea quarks rectify some of the discrepancies, although string breaking has not yet…
Lattice QCD predicts a rich spectroscopy of glueballs and $q\bar{q}-$glue h ybrids. I compare these with data and assess the emerging empirical situation. Questions for the lattice are proposed.
