...rabid guerrillas, royalists and former communists from his own party in check under his stringent authority. "For the first time in 30 years," he says, "Cambodia is at peace." U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright feels otherwise about a trial: "We think it is the only way to bring reconciliation." Hun Sen dismisses such disagreeableness. "If one wants to work with Hun Sen, one should study Hun Sen's resume closely," says the Prime Minister. "I don't like being pressed...
...steal the $3 billion-a-year company's formulas for making adhesive labels and tape. Officials say China--already defending against charges of nuclear espionage in the Los Alamos case--and Taiwan are among the most notorious purloiners of business secrets, allegedly sending graduate students to infiltrate companies and bring data home...
...Saudis, the aim is to absorb some 300 million bbl. of supply overhang and bring inventories more in line with demand. It won't be easy. Nearly a year ago, some of the same countries that signed on to last week's deal agreed to reduce oil production by a whopping 3.1 million bbl. daily.

Then flagrant quota busting, higher production from Iraq, warmer winter weather and lower demand for energy in Asia combined to wreck the price-fixing scheme, and oil crashed to just over...
...narrow, to be more precise. The aging patchwork of thin wires and microwave towers that brings phone service to millions of Americans in remote spots like mountainous Leadville can barely transmit at speeds of 28.8 kilobits per second or less--assuming they can dial up a local Internet service at all.

And the gap between online haves and have-nots appears...
Last month Motorola and Cisco Systems said they would jointly ante up $1 billion over four years to create wireless, high-speed Internet networks. AT&T and others are experimenting with cellular-like services that compress data and bring high-speed Web access into homes. That could help some rural areas. But while wireless towers can easily cover vast stretches of the plains, it's a far costlier matter to erect enough towers to throw signals around the Rocky Mountains. Moreover, many of the companies that are talking up wireless have densely packed urban businesses and mobile professionals in their...
