  ADS/CFT models have achieved considerable success in describing hadronic
properties such as masses and Regge trajectories. Even if the minimal vertex
that couples photons to structureless spin-zero fields is used, one still ends
up with electromagnetic form factors of hadrons that are in fair to good
agreement with experiment. However, contradicting both experiment and
intuition, this minimal model gives zero for hadronic electric and magnetic
polarizabilities. We show here that if effective vertices are used, and axial
and vector mesons are allowed to propagate as intermediate states, then the
static polarizabilities can in principle be computed from ADS/CFT.
