...gender is interesting, but it is not the story here," Fiorina, 44, insisted. She prefers instead that the focus be on her considerable achievements as an executive with AT&T and its Lucent Technologies spin-off. But if she were merely another old, white male appointed CEO by an old, white male board of directors, then her assuming the mantle would be about as newsworthy as last week's announcement of Michael Capellas to run HP rival Compaq. "No woman has achieved leadership at this level of American business," says Sheila Wellington, president of Catalyst, a New York City organization...

Last week TIME's Belgrade team assembled a week's worth of Milosevic's propaganda. Then we turned to some spin experts for their analysis. Though they spotted some holes, it's clear that getting rid of Milosevic will involve finding a way to weaken his propaganda operations...
