First sentence: While the simplicity and elegance of QCD is very appealing theoretically, the phenomenological observations of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and even more so of the confinement of colour charges turned it into a major calculational nightmare: it took almost twenty years after the discovery of asymptotic freedom to convincingly demonstrate that the QCD Lagrangian indeed implies these highly non-trivial collective phenomena.
