The assertion that quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the correct theory describing strong interaction phenomena has, largely by repetition, become rather non-controversial. It is likely even true. However, whether or not it is correct in detail, the experimentally supported realization that colored quarks and gluons are the elementary degrees of freedom, that asymptotic freedom makes short distance phenomena rather ''simple'' to understand, and that color is confined on the hadronic length scale of -- 1 fm has led to a profound change in the character of our attempts to understand the structure and interactions of both hadrons and nuclei. Many of the most important issued in particle physics and in nuclear physics are now seen to be intimately connected. An understanding of the validity and limits of effective theories based upon hadron degrees of freedom, so phenomenologically successful in describing a host of low energy phenomena, is coming into focus. The existence of new forms of matter grounded in the hidden color degree of freedom is predicted. These considerations form the subject of nuclear chromodynamics (NCD). The subject is far from mature and is developing rapidly.
