  The 1/N expansion of QCD can be used to calculate properties of nucleons and
Delta baryons, such as masses, magnetic moments, and pion couplings. The
predictions of the 1/N expansion are in excellent agreement with the
experimental data. The 1/N expansion also provides an understanding of the
relation between the quark model, the Skyrme model, and QCD. This talk reviews
some of the recent developments.
