Geopolitics is a chess game, and President Vladimir Putin is a considerably more formidable opponent than his predecessor was. That much was clear Monday when Putin left Moscow an hour before President Clinton to stake out the high ground on missile defense in Western Europe. Some of Washington's closest European allies had, last week, expressed grave misgivings about Clinton's proposed missile-defense system during the President's visit, and Putin moved to widen the gap by unveiling his own missile-defense proposals while on a visit to Italy and the Vatican.

...agreement, hanging over them is a pledge made by Palestinian leader YASSER ARAFAT to declare a Palestinian state by year's end, with or without Israel's acquiescence. During his interview with TIME (see WORLD), Prime Minister EHUD BARAK revealed a position not unlike that of his hard-line predecessor BENJAMIN NETANYAHU.

...spread so rapidly is more a matter of the connectedness of systems than the specifics of platforms," insists Steve Lipner, manager of Microsoft's security-response center. Still, the company recognizes the threat from at least one source of infections. The latest version of Word profits from its predecessor's mistakes and comes with macros disabled by default, meaning that viruses like Ethan, Marker and even Melissa will find it harder to gain a toehold. But Outlook's macros are set to remain stubbornly open to infection, meaning that the field is ripe for the next infestation of Love Bugs...
