That question lies at the core of the dire declarations in the report that China has systematically stolen our vital security secrets, pilfering design information on every advanced thermonuclear warhead we deploy, on missile guidance, even on the never fielded neutron bomb, to acquire weapons knowledge "on a par" with the U.S. With "insatiable" appetite and "enormous" energy over decades, Beijing's agents mined valuable military information from every corner of the American military-industrial complex and haven't given up yet. From that time to the present, a permissive, often inept U.S. government let the People's Republic help...
...what's supposed to be next year's Big Thing. Two days after the trustbusting main event got going again in Washington, Danbury-based Bristol Technology Inc. opened its own suit against the Redmond giant, claiming that Gates & Co. put the Seattle screws to their software business by withholding vital information when Bristol licensed MS's Windows NT system. "Now it's official -- all of Microsoft's browsers are now under legal assault," says TIME technology correspondent Chris Taylor.

Barak will almost certainly feel obliged to give Interior to Sharansky's party, which also demands the Housing Ministry as vital to new immigrants. Sharansky says he has no problems working with the "very bright and very intellectual" Barak, though they won't be playing chess again, as they did during the campaign. The Russian, an accomplished master, checkmated Barak in seven moves. In politics, too, Sharansky is nobody's pawn...
...persistent delays with Star City's Soyuz module, which will form the life-support center of the $60 billion station now slated for completion in 2005. NASA bigwigs have already offered mea culpas for giving Russia, which is in the throes of economic and political paralysis, such a vital job -- the completion of which is essential to maintaining the construction schedule. Live and learn. Until the Russians get back on schedule, NASA crews will have to content themselves with busy work -- like schlepping 3,620 pounds of supplies from Discovery to the station interior, beginning Sunday evening. At least they...
