Class is in session, so enter quietly. Star pupil Mark Alexander, who didn't have so much as a room to sleep in until his demolition-site buddy hooked him up a few months ago, is hitting the instructor with rapid-fire questions about "the syntax to set up command encapsulation PPP" and how many "classes of LCP frames" there are. "It's not simple stuff," Alexander explains. "These are abstract concepts. You have to meditate on them...

But even the French, who are outside of the NATO command structure, have emphasized that this force would not take any action opposed by NATO. Does NATO have right of first refusal to get involved in specific crises? That's the way it seemed to come out when the new initiative was presented this week. The participating countries are committed to NATO, and are going to use NATO planners to do their...
