JERUSALEM: There is no faster killer of Middle East peace than a housing settlement. Which is why nearly every major player in the process was furious at Jerusalem mayor Ehud Olmert's decision to award a building permit for an Arab neighborhood to Miami millionaire Irving Moscowitz without letting any of them in on it. "Those two tried to pull a fast one," says TIME's Lisa Beyer in Jerusalem. "Moscowitz and Olmert are both intent on this for ideological reasons, and they don't feel they need anyone's permission." Benjamin Netanyahu, who has had his share of trouble...
...officials are furious with Canadian Prime Minister JEAN CHRETIEN after an open mike at the NATO summit caught him scorning CLINTON's two-year campaign to enlarge the group as "done for short-term political reasons, to win elections."

He subsequently submerged himself in Britain's burgeoning hip-hop-influenced, Ecstasy-popping rave culture. In 1989 he formed a band with Flint, Keith Palmer (Maxim) and Leeroy Thornhill, who became the group's featured dancer. Their early CDs featured soft techno-dance tunes. They were hits in England, but they sold poorly in the U.S., and the Prodigy's first record label, Elektra, let the band...
...French, for example, have siphoned the entire pension fund of state-owned France-Telecom into the national treasury in order to bring down the deficit. In Germany, Kohl has plunged into a furious fight with the stick-to-the-rules Bundesbank by moving to revalue the country's gold reserves closer to a "market" price to add $10 billion to the federal coffers. The Bundesbank warns that such a trick could undermine "the credibility and stability" of the euro...
