Selected recent QCD and top-quark results from the Tevatron are reviewed,
aiming to illustrate progression from basic studies of QCD processes to
verification of perturbative calculations and Monte Carlo simulation tools, and
to their applications in more novel and complex cases, like top-quark studies
and searches for new physics.Comment: Presented at the Physics at LHC 2006 Conference for the CDF and D0
Collaborations; submitted to Conference Proceedings 12 pp., 26 Fig
