Abstract
The present possible evidences in favor of neutrino masses and mixings from solar, atmospheric, and accelerator experiments cannot be all reconciled in a three-family framework, unless some data are excluded. We grade all possible three-family scenarios according to their compatibility with the available data. A recently proposed scenario appears to emerge naturally as the most likely solution to all oscillation evidences, with the only exception of the angular dependence of multi-GeV atmospheric data in the Kamiokande experiment. We describe in detail the status and the phenomenological implications of this ``minimum sacrifice'' solution.Comment: 16 pages (RevTeX) + 3 figures (postscript); requires epsfig.stKeywords
