  This talk describes some of the precision electroweak measurements from
around the world, namely those related to the Z and W bosons, the top quark
mass, sin2 theta_ W at NuTeV, and three other fundamental measurements: alpha-1
m2_ Z, (g-2)_mu at the E821 BNL experiment as well as the atomic parity
violation (APV) measurement for the Cesium atom. These and other measurements
are set in the context of the Standard Model (SM) and of the electroweak fit
predictions. Future prospects for forthcoming experiments are briefly
discussed.
