That's a risky bet, Dave.  My "Blue Book" lists the "physics start date" 
for the SSC to be 2000.  Given a year or two slippage and a year to collect
and analyze preliminary data, we're talking about 2003 or so.  

There are, of course, other machines which *might* address the question.
But I think that most people would be very skeptical that "strong evidence"
will result from any of these avenues before the SSC (or LHC, I suppose)
comes on line.
