N2 - On the basis of new data on pionic atoms, it is argued that the criticality condition for the existence of strongly bound -nuclear states is likely to bemet in most nuclei. Numerical solutions for Al27, Ca48, and Bi209 are reported, with the conclusion that the widths of such states are generally prohibitively large for their observability except, possibly, in heavy nuclei.
