We reevaluate the dispersion integrals of the leading order hadronic contributions to the running of the QED fine structure constant alpha(s) at s=MZ2, and to the anomalous magnetic moments of the muon and the electron. Finite-energy QCD sum rule techniques complete the data from e+e- annihilation and tau decays at low energy and at the cc-bar threshold. Global quark-hadron duality is assumed in order to resolve the integrals using the Operator Product Expansion wherever it is applicable. We obtain deltaalphahad(MZ) = (276.3 +/- 1.6)x10-4 yielding alpha-1(MZ) = 128.933 +/- 0.021, and amuhad = (692.4 +/- 6.2)x10-10 with which we find for the complete Standard Model prediction amuSM = (11659159.6 +/- 6.7)x10-10. For the electron, the hadronic contribution reads aehad = (187.5 +/- 1.8)x10-14.
