Barely two weeks ago in Iowa, Steve Forbes was a heavyweight. His Presidential candidacy spooked the front-runner, Senator Bob Dole of Kansas. Now, on the eve of New Hampshire's primary, Mr. Forbes finds himself a bantamweight candidate, hoping to do well enough to get an economy-class ticket to future primaries. This, of course, is not a fate Mr. Forbes muses about, at least in public. He has settled into a survivalist mode. "This race is now wide open," he said in an interview on Saturday. "Dole has lost his aura of invincibility. Buchanan has become a serious player. Alexander has become a serious player. The question is, Can Buchanan and Alexander survive the examination that every candidate goes through? So it's going to be very fluid, very fluid for another three weeks before it shakes out."

Mr. Yeltsin said after the meeting that German businesses are waiting to see who wins the election in June. Communists and nationalists effectively won December's parliamentary elections.

Usually arguments over America's trade policies are considered a snooze on the campaign trail, and for four decades how Washington should deal with its economic rivals has rarely been an issue for Republicans, the party of big business and traditionally an unflinching defender of free trade. But the way the issue has suddenly flared in New Hampshire illustrates how divided Republicans have become in the past two years on the question of how to manage the nation's economy. And it is a testament to the power of Patrick J. Buchanan's oratory -- the underpinnings of a campaign that many Republicans agree has identified the anxieties of voters even if they dislike his solutions.

The Solidarity union conceded today that its latest challenge to the former Communists who have won control of the Government, a referendum on sharing state assets, probably had failed to win enough support. By law, more than half the 28 million voters had to take part to make the Government act on Sunday's vote, in which Solidarity sought a mandate for state enterprises and other assets to be distributed among citizens in the form of free coupons. But informal estimates put the turnout at 30 to 40 percent.

Poles voted today in a five-question referendum on the privatization of state assets. Lech Walesa, who called the vote in one of his final acts as President after he lost a November election to a former Communist, Aleksander Kwasniewski, cast his ballot today, saying the referendum was "the most important matter for Poles since the withdrawal of Soviet troops." Solidarity, Mr. Walesa's union movement, wants all 4,000 remaining state-owned companies and other state assets to be shared among Poles. The union has called the vote the last chance to create a broad property-owning class and to prevent the assets from being kept under state control or cornered by a narrow elite of former Communist managers.

The French police arrested 25 people and seized a cache of arms in 15 raids today on suspected Muslim militants in the Paris region, officials said. Most of those arrested were Algerians and Tunisians; one Frenchman was arrested, at whose home the weapons were found. The crackdown followed an investigation into a Muslim network led by Ibrahim and Mohammed Chalabi, two brothers from Algeria. The network was suspected of supporting the Armed Islamic Group, the most militant of the groups fighting to transform Algeria into an Islamic republic.
