  We present a unified picture of mesons and baryons in the
Dyson-Schwinger/Bethe-Salpeter approach, wherein the quark-gluon and
quark-(anti)quark interaction follow from a systematic truncation of the QCD
effective action and includes all its tensor structures.
  The masses of some of the ground state mesons and baryons are found to be in
reasonable agreement with the expectations of a `quark-core calculation',
suggesting a partial insensitivity to the details of the quark-gluon
interaction. However, discrepancies remain in the meson sector, and for excited
baryons, that suggest higher order corrections are relevant and should be
investigated following the methods outlined herein.
