Is the Standard Electroweak Theory Happy with $m_t\sim$ 174 GeV?

Abstract

Based on the recent CDF report on the top-quark, we have carried out an analysis on the Higgs mass within the minimal standard electroweak theory using the latest data on the $W$-mass. Although this theory is in quite a happy situation now, we wish to point out that more precise measurements of $M_W$ and $m_t$ in the future are crucial and they could come to require some new physics beyond it.
