If W/sup +/W/sup -/ production at the Fermilab Tevatron exceeds the electroweak rate, the most economical explanation will be QCD production of a heavy top quark pp-bar..-->..tt-barX with t..-->..bW/sup +/, t-bar..-->..b-barW/sup -/ decays. The cleanest signatures are found in events containing two isolated high-p/sub T/ charged leptons (e, ..mu.., or tau) with missing p/sub T/. We suggest ways to confirm such signatures and to extract the top-quark mass.
