Barak, a former army chief, imagines his legacy as that of a warrior turned statesman who completed the circle of peace around Israel. The incoming PM promises to proceed toward a final agreement with the Palestinians, but aides say the Syrians are his first priority. With the Palestinians, Barak can expect drawn-out negotiations involving issues like the status of Jerusalem and the future of Jewish settlements in the Palestinian territories.

Another issue: Mac users will have to wait until summer's end for Picture CD. It may be worth it. I found that Picture CD gave me as much technology as I needed. The only thing...
...music's most embarrassing and closely watched episodes took a step toward conclusion last week with a secret deal between Bad Boy Records CEO SEAN ("Puffy") COMBS, one of rap's wealthiest moguls, and STEVE STOUTE, an executive with rival label Interscope. In April, Puffy and two bodyguards allegedly beat up Stoute after a disagreement over a music video in which Puffy appeared nailed to a cross...
