Title: Pursuing EWK Symmetry Breaking  at CDF

Abstract: The Tevatron experiments, CDF and D0, are pursuing precision measurements 
of the W and top quark masses, which, along with precision measurements
of many EWK observables, provide information on the Higgs boson mass.  
Some results on the top quark production will be shown. A recent 
precision top quark mass measurement done by the CDF collaboration
will be described. Also recent searches for the Higgs boson will be 
reviewed.
