...West Berlin discotheque bombing in early April, TIME's national security experts, along with the rest of the U.S., had watched for signs of whether the U.S. would respond and how. Two weeks ago, as officials uncovered harder and harder evidence of Libyan involvement, Washington Correspondents Bruce van Voorst and Michael Duffy became increasingly convinced of U.S. willingness to strike back. Their colleague David Halevy confirmed from intelligence sources that the White House was concerned about signs of Libyan plans for further provocation.

"I've been fascinated by communications ever since I was a kid with two tin cans and a taut string between them...
...principal reporting for the story was done by New York Correspondent Bruce van Voorst, who spent five weeks talking with senior executives at IBM's headquarters in Armonk, N.Y., visiting two of the company's major manufacturing centers, and surveying the views of industry consultants and Wall Street analysts. Van Voorst faced several challenges on the assignment, not all of them journalistic. For one thing, he says, "IBM is a large and swiftly moving target. A list I made of two weeks of its activities would be many another company's annual report." Another problem...
