Abstract
Standard model fits are performed on the most recent leptonic and b quark Z decay data from LEP and SLD, and Fermilab data on top quark production, to obtain In, and In,. Pour fits are obtained, with confidence levels similar or equal to 2%. Removing the b quark data improves markedly the quality of the fits and reduces the 95% C.L. upper limit on m(H) by similar or equal to 50 GeV.
