...that, but the spin may be intended for Madeleine Albright ahead of her imminent arrival in the region to nudge Barak and Yasser Arafat into concessions that would allow a summit with President Clinton and the possibility of a valedictory foreign policy triumph. But with a final peace deal on Mr. Clinton's watch looking increasingly remote - Barak and Arafat remain unable to bridge the gulf on key issues such as land and Jerusalem - the White House won't want to see the Israeli side mired in a parochial domestic dispute. It must be tempting, at this stage, for Washington...
...What had happened here last week is the negotiators from both sides were looking at the various... permanent status issues [to reach a final peace treaty]. The fact that they have been talking at all about them is very important, because in some ways they've demystified a lot of issues that nobody ever really wanted to talk about. So I think there's progress in that regard. They are really dealing with the hardest issues.

Both are able to impose their will on games in ways that go beyond stats, beyond predictions and projections. There was a virus-ravaged Jordan in Game 5 of the 1997 finals, scoring 38 points to give his team the win. Or O'Neal, in Game 4 of this year's Western Conference final against Portland, fouled repeatedly by the Trail Blazers (a strategy called Hack-a-Shaq), hitting nine foul shots in a row despite his history as a horrible free...
...course, cyber Cassandras have been tolling the bell for Moore's law for decades. As physicist Carver Mead puts it, "The Chicken Little sky-is-falling articles are a recurring theme." But even Mead admits that by 2014 the laws of physics may have their final revenge. Transistor components are fast approaching the dreaded point-one limit--when the width of transistor components reaches .1 microns and their insulating layers are only a few atoms thick. Last year Intel engineer Paul Packan publicly sounded the alarm in Science magazine, warning that Moore's law could collapse. He wrote, "There...
