  We review the status of precision electroweak physics with particular
emphasis on the extraction of the Higgs boson mass. Global fit results depend
strongly on the used value for the hadronic contribution to alpha(M_Z). We
emphasize, however, that the general tendency for a light Higgs persists when
using any of the recently obtained values for alpha(M_Z), and is also less
dependent on deviating observables such as A_LR than in the past.
