Winning, though, will probably mean becoming a team player, since it's unlikely that Oracle can unseat Microsoft alone. That will be a new role for a man who cherishes his lone-warrior reputation as much as his collection of Samurai helmets. Yet the scope of his ambition for network computing--as well as some mellowing that has come with age--appears to have left Ellison ready to cooperate. Already Oracle has begun to form an anti-Microsoft axis with Silicon Valley neighbors Sun Microsystems and Netscape, which Ellison says may have the perfect NC interface with its browser. Inside...

By 2000, all of China's more than 1 million villages will operate under the system. Some say these local elections are diluting the Communist Party's power...
...chorus of Europeans, Canadians and Mexicans have told the United States that the days of exploding cigars are over--if we are ever to unseat Castro, these nations say, we must make economic love, not war. They are right to point out the discrepancy which exists in U.S. trade policy, wrong to criticize the U.S. government's stalwart position on Cuba. Conscience calls upon the United States to continue to oppose Cuba for depriving its citizens of free expression, even if the price is standing alone among the nations of the world...
