We have determined {ital m}{sub {ital W}}=79.91{plus minus}0.39 GeV/{ital c}{sup 2} from an analysis of {ital W}{r arrow}{ital e}{nu} and {ital W}{r arrow}{mu}{nu} data from the Collider Detector at ...Fermilab in {ital {bar p}p} collisions at {radical}{ital s} =1.8 TeV. From this result and the world-average {ital Z} mass, the weak mixing angle is determined to be sin{sup 2}{theta}{sub {ital W}}=0.232{plus minus}0.008. An upper bound on the top-quark mass derived from this result is discussed.

We present results of searches for the top quark in {ital p{bar p}} collisions at {radical}{ital s} =1.8 TeV. The data sample was collected during 1988--1989 at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider and has ...an integrated luminosity of 4.1 pb{sup {minus}1}. We have extended our previous search for {ital e}{mu} final states to include the {ital ee} and {mu}{mu} channels. In addition, we have searched for a low-transverse-momentum muon as a tag of the bottom quark in top decay events with a lepton and at least two jets. We obtain a lower limit on the top-quark mass of 91 GeV/{ital c}{sup 2} at the 95% confidence level assuming standard-model charged-current decays.
The properties of proton-antiproton interactions in which the total transverse energy exceeds 400 GeV are described. These events have been recorded at the Fermilab Tevatron collider operating at a ...center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV. The differential cross section, jet rates, jet transverse-momentum and pseudorapidity distributions, single-jet shapes, and the multijet rates and kinematics are compared with QCD predictions. There is no evidence for a significant deviation from standard-model expectations that would be signaled by the presence of an excess of isolated high-transverse-momentum leptons or photons, or an excess of events with unusual jet rates or characteristics.
The production and event topology of three-jet events produced in {ital p{bar p}} collisions at {radical}{ital s} =1.8 TeV have been studied with the Collider Detector at Fermilab at the Tevatron ...Collider. The distributions of the three-jet angular variables ({psi}{sup *} and cos{theta}{sup *}) and of the variables describing the energy sharing between jets ({ital x}{sub 3} and {ital x}{sub 4}) are found to agree well with tree-level QCD calculations. These distributions are predicted to have different shapes for different initial-state subprocesses (quark-antiquark, quark-gluon, and gluon-gluon). The data are consistent with the small expected contribution from quark-antiquark initial states, in agreement with theoretical expectations.

Some executives discuss the people who most influenced their business lives. Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, says one is right not because others agree but because one's facts are right. ...His father, Howard Buffett, and Ben Graham were his mentors. Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Atlantic Airways and the Virgin Group, says that one will not survive if one does not make a fool of oneself. The person who had the biggest impact on him was Freddie Laker. Howard Schultz, chairman of Starbucks, says that one should recognize the skills and traits one does not possess, and hire people who have them. He says that Warren Bennis is one of the most respected scholars on leadership. Sumner Redstone, CEO and chairman of Viacom, says that one should follow one's own instincts, not those of people who see the world differently. Redstone frequrently turns to Ace Greenberg of Bear Stearns.
