  We start by studying the Goldberger-Treiman discrepancy (GTd) $\Delta =
(2.259\pm 0.591)%$. Then we look at the $\pi N$ $\sigma$ term, with the
dimensionless ratio $\sigma_N/2m_N=3.35%$. Finally we return to predicting (via
the quark model) the $\pi N$ coupling constant, with GTd $\Delta\to 0$ as
$m_q\to m_N/3$.
