...diet aims to calm those tensions by easing the pain in people's wallets. And that's not all. "We're also making an effort to use the current crisis ... to change the nation's eating habits," says Alexander Baturin, deputy head of Moscow's Institute of Nutrition, a part of the Academy of Medical Sciences...
Russia's ahead in the space race again. The world's first space-bound bureaucrat -- Yuri Baturin, a former security adviser to Boris Yeltsin -- blasted off from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan Thursday, heading for a two-week stay aboard Mir. NASA, of course, has sent lawmakers into orbit; Senator Jake Garn took a junket on the Space Shuttle back before the Challenger disaster, and John Glenn heads off in the fall. But never has America put a presidential aide in space. Can this one fly? "We can teach anyone to become a cosmonaut as long...
...While he's up there, perhaps Baturin can help solve Mir's acute financial crisis. He'll not be unaware of the need -- his own flight was postponed 10 days because the space agency couldn't pay its electricity bills.

...Cold War?s frenzied race to record ?firsts? in space may have been replaced by genteel cooperation, but Moscow is set to edge out the U.S. in becoming the first nation to send a national politician into space. Former Kremlin national security adviser Yuri Baturin will be blasted up to Mir on August 12 to take part in a research mission. That?s two months ahead of Senator John Glenn?s planned sojourn on the shuttle Discovery. As space travel for the political executive goes, Discovery easily has the edge over Mir for comfort and safety, but the Russian station...
...official: Yuri Baturin, Boris Yeltsin's bespectacled defense adviser, will take a spin for a week or so on Mir next year. The long-rumored trip is planned for August, during a crew changeover. Baturin, a former staff member at Energiya, the Russian space corporation that made Mir, has been secretly taking lessons in zero-G flight at Star City, the cosmonaut-training center outside Moscow. The competition to join him aloft promises to be stiff. Slovak, French and Indonesian astronauts, as well as a CNN correspondent, have already put in bids. Why would Baturin risk his life in space...
