Standard Model fits are performed on the most recent leptonic and b quark Z decay data from LEP and SLD, and FERMILAB data on top quark production, to obtain $m_t$ and $m_H$. Poor fits are obtained, with confidence levels $\simeq$ 2%. Removing the b quark data improves markedly the quality of the fits and reduces the 95% CL upper limit on $m_H$ by $\simeq$ 50 GeV.
