  This is a review of the program we started in 1968 to understand and
generalize Bjorken scaling and Feynman's parton model in a canonical quantum
field theory. It is shown that the parton model proposed for deep inelastic
electron scatterings can be derived if a transverse momentum cutoff is imposed
on all particles in the theory so that the impulse approximation holds. The
deep inelastic electron-positron annihilation into a nucleon plus anything else
is related by the crossing symmetry of quantum field theory to the deep
inelastic electron-nucleon scattering. We have investigated the implication of
crossing symmetry and found that the structure functions satisfy a scaling
behavior analogous to the Bjorken limit for deep inelastic electron scattering.
We then find that massive lepton pair production in collisions of two high
energy hadrons can be treated by the parton model with an interesting scaling
behavior for the differential cross sections. This turns out to be the first
example of a class of hard processes involving two initial hadrons.
