...Microsoft scrambled to cover up the code hole by posting a software patch on its web site Monday; trouble is, it didn't fix the problem. A working patch is expected from both Microsoft and Netscape soon. Advises TIME tech columnist Joshua Quittner, "If you use one of the affected mail programs, you have two choices: Stop using email, or get another program." Qualcomm, makers of Eudora, claim their software is unaffected. Word to the terrified: No such e-mail attack has been confirmed...
...society in which mothers are afraid to cling to their sons. On the one hand, we ask 1990s boys to be sensitive and expressive, and on the other, we saddle them with the culture's outdated notions of masculinity.

No prizes for guessing which one the feds are in favor...
...whose motto means "Always Faithful" to lighten up on adultery. Indeed, Defense Secretary William Cohen's attempts to standardize the military's response to adultery in the ranks may have set him on a collision course with the Marines. "The Marines think of themselves as bound by a higher code, while Cohen wants uniformity, so there's bound to be conflict," says TIME Pentagon Correspondent Mark Thompson. "But defense secretaries have learned that you don't want to tangle with the Marines if you can avoid it -- they wield a lot of political power...
