Gorbachev on Friday presented the compromise plan, written by Shatalin and another leading Soviet economist, Abel Aganbegyan. It contains many elements of Shatalin's radical 500-day plan but would move at a slower pace and not disturb the central government's power to levy taxes...

Some vendors come to the bazaar for sport: New York hoaxer Alan Abel, for example, specializes in planting false news items, like last fall's stories about the bogus $35 million lottery winner.
