  I review theory and phenomenology of
  (K/2,K/2)*[(1/2,0)+(0,1/2)] states.
  First I make the case that the observed nucleon and Delta (1232) excitations
(up to Delta(1600)) are exhausted by unconstrained (K/2,K/2)*[(1/2,0)+(0,1/2)]
states with K=1,3, and 5, which originate from rotational and vibrational
excitations of an underlying quark--diquark configuration.
  Second, I consider the simplest case of K=1 and show that the
  \gamma^\mu\psi_\mu =0 constraint of the Rarita-Schwinger framework is a
short-hand of:
  - 1/3 (1/m^2 W^2 +3/4)\psi_\mu = \psi_\mu, the covariant definition of the
unique invariant subspace of the squared Pauli-Lubanski vector, W^2, that is a
parity singlet and of highest spin-3/2 at rest.
  I suggest to work in the 16 dimensional vector spinor space
  \Psi= A *\psi rather than keeping Lorentz and spinor indices separated and
show that the above second order equation guarantees the covariant description
of a has-been spin-3/2 states at rest without invoking further supplementary
conditions.
  In gauging the latter equation minimally and, in calculating the determinant,
one obtains a pathology-free energy-momentum dispersion relation, thus avoiding
the classical Velo-Zwanziger problem of imaginary energies in the presence of
an external electromagnetic field.
