A1 Russian Visit to U.S. 'Tank' Senior Pentagon officials, eager to sway Russia to approve a new missile defense system for the United States, took the Russian foreign minister into a secure conference room known as ''the tank'' this week to explain in detail how Russia's nuclear arsenal could overwhelm new radars central to an American system. A4 Iran Cleric Defends Crackdown Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a leading Iranian cleric and former president, defended the recent closing of 16 pro-reform publications and accused them of trying to destroy the country's religious underpinnings.

A3 Italy Approves Prime Minister Parliament approved Giuliano Amato, a Socialist, as prime minister by a margin of just 21 votes, reflecting the new government's fragility, as well as disarray in the center-left majority, which has had power since 1996.

A8 Gore Education Proposals Vice President Al Gore, campaigning in Texas, called for using the power of the federal government's purse strings to press failing schools to raise test scores and to reduce dropout rates with an array of threats and incentives. With his speech at a national conference of black mayors, Mr. Gore sought to answer critics who have said his proposals simply pour more money into failing school systems. A10 Bush Picks Campaign Chief Donald L. Evans, a Texas oil and gas businessman who presided over the record fund-raising drive for Gov. George W. Bush in the Republican primaries, was named chairman of the presidential campaign. Mr. Evans, 53, has had little conventional political involvement, but he has known Governor Bush well for 25 years.
