  The LHC collaborations have recently announced evidence for the production of
a "Higgs--like" boson with mass near 125 GeV. The properties of the new
particle are consistent (within still quite large uncertainties) with those of
the Higgs boson predicted in the Standard Model (SM). This discovery comes
nearly ten years after a combined analysis of the four LEP experiments showed a
mild excess of Higgs--like events with a mass near 98 GeV. I show that both
groups of events can be explained simultaneously in the minimal supersymmetric
extension of the SM, in terms of the production and decay of the two neutral
CP--even Higgs bosons predicted by this model, and explore the phenomenological
consequences of this explanation.
