...Israeli control of at least 60 percent of the West Bank and limited Palestinian autonomy of at most 40 percent in the undefined future. Its stipulations regarding Israeli security severely undercut the human rights of native Palestinian inhabitants. Most fundamentally, like the Oslo Accords, it does not take into account essential components of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict...
...individual American investors, the best way to invest in Europe is through mutual funds. Paribas' Leresche, however, offers this caveat: any fund limited to the euro zone will miss some great companies in Britain, Switzerland and Sweden.

Grove?s account sounds a little more ominous: "We basically caved," he told Fortune magazine later that year. "Life?s too short" to introduce software that Microsoft doesn?t support, he added. Throw in a 1995 memo written by Intel VP Steven McGeady, the government?s latest witness, in which "Gates made vague threats of support...
