  The NuTeV anomaly of a non-universal value of the fundamental parameter
sin^2\theta_W in the electroweak theory has been interpreted as an indication
for new physics beyond the Standard Model. However, the observed quantity
depends on a possible asymmetry in the momentum distributions of strange quarks
and antiquarks in the nucleon. This asymmetry occurs naturally in a
phenomenologically successful physical model for such parton distributions,
which reduces the NuTeV result to only about two standard deviations from the
Standard Model.
