Many mountains still to climb
Article Abstract:
Italy has long been the strongest proponent of European economic and monetary union (EMU), and its desire to be a charter EMU member in 1999 has spurred some much-needed reform. The crackdown on organized crime has been successful, and other labor, welfare, and tax reforms are well under way.

Net escape
Article Abstract:
Internet companies' stock prices have dropped by more than most stock prices since Jul 1998. A stock issue by eBay will attract attention and other internet start-up companies will follow with their stock issues. If eBay's stock issue is a failure, more internet companies are likely to seek corporate buyers. There have been a large number of acquisitions in this sector in 1998 Neglect of internet companies would be as mistaken as the fashion for internet companies earlier in 1998.
