Both mesons and baryons are constructed from a set of three fundamental particles called aces.The aces break up into an isospin doublet and singlet.Each ace carries baryon number 1/3 and is fractionally charged.su 3 (but not the Eightfold Way) is adopted as a higher syrr..metry for the strong interactions.The breaking of this symmetry is assumed to be universal?being due to mass diffe:rences among the aces.Extensive space-time and group theoretic structure is then predicted for both mesons and baryons, in agreement with existing experimental information.Quantitative speculations are presented concerning resonances that have not as yet been definitively classified into representations of su 3 A weak interaction theory based on right and left handed aces is used to predict rates for ll~sl = 1 baryon leptonic decays.An experimental search for the aces is suggested.
