The semileptonic $B$ meson decays of the type $B \to X_u \ell \nu$ are important for measuring the magnitude of the CKM matrix element $V_{ub}$. Recent measurements of inclusive $B \to X_u e \nu_e$ and hadronically tagged $B^0 \to \pi^-…
Implications of recent CLEO measurements of hadronic charmless B decays are discussed. (i) Employing the Bauer-Stech-Wirbel (BSW) model for form factors as a benchmark, the $B\to\pi^+\pi^-$ data indicate that the form factor $F_0^{B\pi}(0)$…
