PRAGUE -- Vice President Joe Biden made significant strides during a trip to Central Europe this week in relieving anxieties that the Obama administration stirred up last month when it scrapped a Bush-era plan for missile defense.

Biden won agreement yesterday from the Czech Republic to join Obama's reconfigured missile-defense system, just two days after Poland said it also would take part.
