INTERNATIONAL 3-26 In a Sudden Reversal, Asia Opens Markets The accord to liberalize trade in financial services reflects a U-turn by Asian countries, which suddenly are desperate to attract investments, as well as the conclusion that they could not send another shock to the financial markets. News Analysis. 1 The tumult in Asia is having marginal effects on most American companies, so far, but the cumulative repercussions could be harsh in the end. 12 With South Korea careering toward a possible default, its three leading presidential candidates promised to abide by the I.M.F. agreement. 12 Suharto Illness Rumored President Suharto has canceled plans to attend a regional summit meeting in Malaysia starting on Monday.

The proposals, to be included in the State of the Union Message in late January, would include an increase in the Federal income tax credit that parents can take for child-care expenses; a new tax credit for businesses that build or operate child-care centers for employees, and an increase in the money that the Federal Government gives states to subsidize child care, the officials said. 1 Backing Diversity's Ends As the national debate over affirmative action intensifies, most Americans endorse the goal of racial diversity in schools and offices, but reject some of the main methods used so far to achieve it, according to a New York Times/CBS News Poll. 1 High Tech Reality Check For infertile couples, saying no to reproductive technology has become a vexing problem. Every month, it seems, there is another stride in the science of making babies. While public attention inevitably focuses on the latest accomplishment -- the McCaughey septuplets, the California woman who gave birth at 63 and other recent feats -- the reality is that the high-tech path to parenthood yields failure far more often than success, about three out of four times. 1 Case Without a Corpse Federal authorities say the body of an aide to Gov. Thomas R. Carper of Delaware who disappeared 18 months ago was dumped into the ocean, and they believe they now know where to look. 28 NEW YORK/REGION 49-57 Patient Care at Risk Hospitals in New York City often rely on exhausted and poorly supervised medical residents, flouting laws enacted eight years ago to protect patients and compromising patient care, according to interviews with dozens of young doctors. 1 Legal Questions in T.W.A. Case Lawyers for the families who are seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages in the explosion of Trans World Airlines Flight 800 face significant legal challenges, including finding a way around an international treaty that sharply limits damages in jet crashes. 54 Park Plan Stirs Anger Dreier Offerman Park in southwestern Brooklyn is mostly a wasteland of scruffy weeds and trash.

INTERNATIONAL A3-12 A Tone of Conciliation From Iran's President President Mohammed Khatami of Iran professed ''great respect'' for the United States and said he hoped that American politicians would ''understand their own time'' and stop trying to isolate his country.
