The present possible evidence in favor of neutrino masses and mixings from solar, atmospheric, and accelerator experiments cannot all be 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 evidence, with the only exception being the angular dependence of multi-GeV atmospheric data in the Kamiokande experiment. We describe in detail the status and the phenomenological implications of this {open_quotes}minimum sacrifice{close_quotes} solution. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
