...Bell monopoly.) AT&T sold to Microsoft--a company whose Internet strategy is looking increasingly piecemeal--$5 billion of preferred stock and an opportunity to supply some of the operating systems and software for the set-top boxes and servers that AT&T will have to deploy to support its vast new digital domain...
...common areas of the household. That means more sites visited, banners clicked and e-commerce transacted--and AT&T (as well as Microsoft) wants a piece of all that fast-growing action. The company already has a wide array of Internet products and e-commerce applications ready to deploy over the nascent network. Gradually, through television advertisements, mailings and those annoying phone calls, AT&T's AtHome could become an online brand to rival AOL. "They are going to hit you on ESPN, on CNN, on NBC, saying AtHome is now available," says Tom Henderson, analyst at Janco Partners...
...Chinese general would rely on the validity of stolen designs alone to build and deploy new nuclear weapons. Instead the time-honed technical expertise found in the U.S. codes could allow savvy foreign scientists to measure the punch packed by weapons they already possess without actually testing them. It's a doozy for the Chinese, who may have pocketed U.S. secrets just before they signed the nuclear test-ban treaty in 1996. And then there are the nuclear wannabes from Pyongyang to Tripoli, to whom the Chinese might sell the codes. Warns Gary Milhollin of the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear...
...nativists and cultural conservatives (not a few of them painters, like Thomas Hart Benton), who believed that the art of Jews, gays and anyone else they disliked couldn't be really American. Such primitivism is gone now--or, at any rate, nobody who cares about art would deploy it. Obviously, the question can't be answered by including everyone who lived for a time in the U.S. and influenced the art scene there, because that would make Max Ernst an American instead of a Franco-German surrealist and confer a sort of honorary American status on the Cuban Wilfredo...
...Army's current fast-deploying force is the 82nd Airborne's ready brigade, which is set to move within 37 hours. But the Army couldn't deploy such a unit to Kosovo for action. In recent years, the Army scrapped the aging but light Sheridan tank it once used, and canceled the air-droppable Advanced Gun System that was to have replaced it. That means the 82nd has to seize and hold a major airfield within four hours of parachuting in, to allow C-17s carrying M-1 tanks to land. The Army's latest study on the subject...
