...political daring. The idea of national repentance for the murders was dropped months ago after the Patriarch withheld his blessing, and most leading politicians, with the exception of the ambitious Alexander Lebed and opposition leader Grigori Yavlinsky, found other things to do that Friday. Yeltsin's sudden decision to appear achieved the effect he so clearly enjoys, catching his rivals off balance and making them look foolish. This time, however, his about-face may have been inspired by more profound considerations. The day before the funeral, the one living Russian with any claims to sainthood, Dmitri Likhachev, 91, spoke...
...prognosis? Right now, a fading El Nino and a burgeoning La Nina appear to be locked in a struggle for dominance. As Kevin Trenberth, an NCAR climatologist, put it last week, "It's a war out there." But even if La Nina wins the battle, as many scientists now expect, she'll have a hard time overshadowing her more famous brother.

Although no details leaked out, the timing was important -- just when the President's lawyers were hammering out the details of how and when their boss would appear before the grand jury, along comes Monica. "That's good scare tactics," says TIME Washington correspondent Jef McAllister. "Starr will want to put Monica on the stand first, to have as many specifics as possible to catch the President...
