      We summarize three alternative extensions of the quark-valence picture
      of nucleon strangeness and spin, including (1) gluon spin in QCD,
      (2) Bjorken sum rule and QCD, (3) D-E meson mixing and tadpole
      leakage. All three approaches suggest that ~40% of the
      nucleon's spin (as well as its momentum) resides with quarks,
      but that less than 6% is due to strange quarks.

      We demonstrate how a chiral soft pion theorem (SPT) shields the scalar
      meson ground state isoscalar sigma(600-700) and isospinor kappa(800-900)
      from detection in a_{1}->pi(pipi)_{swave}, gammagamma->2pi^{0},
      pi^{-}p->pi^{-}pi^{+}n and K^{-}p->K^{-}pi^{+}n processes. While
      pseudoscalar meson PVV transitions are known to be determined by (only)
      quark loop diagrams, the above SPT also constrains scalar meson SVV
      transitions to be governed (only) by meson loop diagrams. We apply this
      latter SVV theorem to a_{0}->gammagamma and f_{0}->gammagamma decays.

      We consider techniques (based on an ultraviolet cutoff) used to prove
      that the pure boson (phi^{4})_{4} field theory is trivial and apply them
      instead to the dynamically generated quark-level linear sigma model. This
      cutoff approach leads to the conclusion that the latter field theory is in
      fact nontrivial.

      Linkage is demonstrated between the quark mass, quark condensate and
      coupling strength in the infrared limit of QCD and in the quark-level
      linear sigma model.

      It is shown that, in QED_{3}, the Pauli-Villars regularization involving
      a pair of auxiliary fermion fields with masses of opposite sign leads to
      results that are consistent with those obtained using all other
      parity-preserving schemes of regularization. At the same time, ambiguity
      problems remain unsolved in non-Abelian models (QCD_{3}).
