...consequences of infowar will reach down into the ranks. By 2010, the Army hopes to "digitize the battlefield" by linking every soldier and weapons system electronically. A research team led by Motorola and the Army R.-and-D. lab in Natick, Massachusetts, plans to unveil next year a prototype of the equipment that the "21st century land warrior" will have. His helmet will be fitted with microphones and earphones for communications, night-vision goggles and thermal-imaging sensors to see in the dark, along with a heads-up display in front of his eyes to show him where...
Embracing the Republican brand of balanced-budget politics, President Clinton went on national TV to unveil his version of a no-deficit plan. The key elements: a balanced budget by the year 2005 (three years later than the G.O.P. proposes); $1.1 trillion in spending cuts, including sizable bites out of Medicare and Medicaid (but far smaller than the G.O.P.'s); and targeted middle-class tax cuts, especially for families saddled with college costs (also smaller than the G.O.P.'s tax breaks).

Sony, no stranger to the stratagems of consumer-electronics marketing, neatly parried with its own surprise: a pre-emptive price cut on the PlayStation--before the official list price...
...grabbed for one, making a $2.8 billion bid for the three television networks of Italy's former Premier Silvio Berlusconi, which are watched by nearly half the country's TV audience. And then? "Ted Turner may want to retire," he joked mordantly at a press conference called to unveil the deal. Wall Street sat up. Could News Corp. be looking to buy the 20% stake in Turner owned by Time Warner? Certainly Turner's cable operations, which include CNN, would be attractive to Murdoch, whose empire lacks a global television-news operation...
