Is Charm Found?

Abstract
A new neutral narrow meson decaying into Kπ and Kπππ was recently discovered in e+e annihilation at SPEAR. Unexpected structure was observed in the recoil-mass spectrum associated with the new particle. We demonstrate that what has been seen coincides with what was expected by advocates of charm. We explain the observed suppression of DD¯ production and the scarcity of charged D's. Predictions about the production of charmed hadrons not yet seen are given.
