  The status of precision electroweak measurements as of summer 2002 is
reviewed. The recent results on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and
on neutrino-nucleon scattering are discussed. Precision results on the
electroweak interaction obtained by the experiments at the SLC, LEP and
TEVATRON colliders are presented. The experimental results are compared with
the predictions of the minimal Standard Model and are used to constrain its
parameters, including the mass of the Higgs boson. The final LEP results on the
direct search for the Higgs boson of the Standard Model are presented.
