Abstract
I feel obliged to give some philosophical justification to my work. There are at present two complementary ways to do physics: 1. The telescope way: The telescope can see a lot of things but only roughly. Or in the language of phenomenology, one tries to fit many things roughly, but nothing precisely. It is like the early days of quark model and the present efforts of QCD. 2. The microscope way: The microscope can see only a small percentage of the sample, but very accurately. In terms of phenomenology it is equivalent to using a simple idea to fit something very accurately.
