  The recently observed $B^-\to K^- \pi^0$, $\bar K^0 \pi^-$ and $\bar B^0 \to
K^- \pi^+$ decay modes appear to have nearly equal branching ratios. This
suggests that tree and electroweak penguins play an important role, and
inclusion of the latter improves agreement between factorization calculation
and experimental data. The value $\gamma$ in the range $90^\circle -
130^\circle$ and $220^\circle - 260^\circle$ is favored, while the $\bar B^0
\to \bar K^0 \pi^0$ rate is suppressed. Direct CP violation for $B\to K \pi$
modes can be large if final state interaction phases are large.
