...nationalist agenda on the map, Yeltsin has made a real effort to look like a Russian patriot. He wants to position himself more toward the center, while not completely embracing the nationalist agenda." A longtime Communist Party member, the 66 year old Primakov was named to head the foreign arm of the reorganized KGB in 1991. "The interesting thing about Primakov," adds Kohan, "is that he was a Gorbachev man. He came up through the party ranks under Gorbachev, and he's one of few old-guard people still around...

But the i.r.a. has yet to relinquish some of its arms--an issue the British regard as crucial to a final peace accord. The signing came just before the son of Virginia Cassidy Blythe Clinton Kelley arrived in Northern Ireland--the first U.S. President ever to visit there.
