...both countries, Bush will find the disjuncture between economic and political progress that has, in very different ways, plagued Mikhail Gorbachev's glasnost-led revolution as well as Deng Xiaoping's marketplace-led revolt. Poland combines robust political competition with a downtrodden economy almost too far gone for reform. Hungary combines an explosion of private enterprise with a less vigorous attitude toward democracy. The message the U.S. and its West European allies can bring to both places is the truth that lies at the heart of democratic capitalism: economic and political freedoms work best in tandem...
Hungary also struggles under a large foreign debt. But with an economic exuberance that matches Poland's political exhilaration, Budapest is making progress toward recovery. Western visitors who evince any interest in investing in Hungary are likely to find officials knocking at their hotel doors with lists of state enterprises for sale. Hungary now permits its citizens to start large-scale private businesses and hire up to 500 workers. A fledgling stock market has 147 listings. Within three years, half of Hungary's economy is expected to be in private hands. Consumer goods are expensive, but, unlike in Poland, they...
...surprised, if you're traveling outside the U.S. or Canada this week, to find TIME with a different cover than the one on this edition.

The reprogrammed circuit boards sent an uncoded copy of the text of all State Department and CIA message traffic to the new power line, which could carry it out of the embassy and into the hands...
Meanwhile, U.S. counterspies thought they could checkmate the bugging system the Soviets appeared to be installing in the new U.S. embassy being built in Moscow. Instead, the U.S. had fallen far behind. Construction had stopped in mid-1985, when American security experts admitted they might not be able to find all the Soviet bugs. The sophistication of the overall system made the Americans realize they had underrated the Soviets; they weren't even sure how the various electronic parts they had found worked together. The Bracy confession landed in this explosive environment like a lighted match in a munitions dump...
