One cannot exclude, however, the possibility that this flavor-spin interaction has an appreciable vector- and higher meson exchange component.10 pages, LaTeX (+PicTeX.sty) file, Invited talk given at the (i) International Conference "Quark Confinement and the Hadron Spectrum II (Como, Italy, June 26-29, 1996), (ii) CEBAF/INT Workshop on N* Physics (Seattle, USA, September 9-13, 1996)High Energy Physics - PhenomenologyNuclear TheoryBaryons in chiral constituent quark modeltext
