Abstract
Difficulties encountered in constructing unified descriptions of electromagnetic and weak interactions are simply characterized in terms of the "clash" between the new symmetries needed and the old symmetries already present in hadron dynamics. Unobserved new particles and new decay modes are predicted and must be explained away. The Han-Nambu model is suggested as one which already contains some of the features which are added ad hoc in other models.Keywords
