Abstract
The standard additive quark model and the ensuing counting rules are modified to take into account not only the quark-gluonic content of the Pomeron but also of the secondary Reggeons, as well as the fact that the soft Pomeron is not just a gluonic ladder. A much-improved description of pp, $\pi p$,$\gamma p$ and $\gamma \gamma$ cross sections is obtained.
