We report the first measurement of the $\ensuremath{\tau}$ lepton polarization ${P}_{\ensuremath{\tau}}({D}^{*})$ in the decay $\overline{B}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{D}^{*}{\ensuremath{\tau}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{\ensuremath{\tau}}$ as well as a new measurement of the ratio ...
