On the Cover

First Standard Model Higgs boson mass bound from Fermilab. Masses 162-166 GeV (red) are ruled out at the 95% C.L. because the observed upper limit on Higgs boson production (solid black line) lies below the SM prediction (blue line). Selected for an Editors' Suggestion and a Viewpoint in Physics.
