abstract
The decays Upsilon(4S) -> BB, followed by B -> D* pi and D* -> D pi, permit reconstruction of all kinematic quantities that describe the sequence without reconstruction of the D, with reasonably low backgrounds. Using an integrated e+e- luminosity of 3.1 fb^{-1} accumulated at the Upsilon(4S) by the CLEO-II detector, we report measurements of BR(B0 -> D*+ pi-) = (2.81 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.21 +/- 0.05) x 10^{-3} and BR(B- -> D*0 pi-) = (4.34 +/- 0.33 +/- 0.34 +/- 0.18) x 10^{-3}.

Towards a Global Analysis of the $b\to c\bar{u} q$ Puzzle
New three-particle QCD kernels for the full Weak Effective Theory basis plus a first six-coupling global fit show that the b to c u q puzzle favors four-operator new-physics models over six-operator ones.
