Bethany clerics remember Lyuba, as she was affectionately called, as "very sweet, very calm." But there were misgivings about her husband. The church secretary, Valentin Kalinovskiy, remembers Nikolay as very pensive and deliberate, "kind of thinking a lot and very slow in his movements." At earlier interviews, he had refused to answer questions about the circumstances surrounding his departure from his previous church in Ukraine. "He wouldn't say anything," says Kalinovskiy. "We need an answer. We cannot have a person who has not left his past church in peace." The Sunday interview concluded amicably. But the pastor would still...
...heart, a neighborhood brawl with very few strategic implications. Love him or hate him, Saddam is a very important and provocative element in the question of Persian Gulf stability. And Washington's ability to deal with the Persian Gulf region politically is really being impeded by the failure to calm the situation on the Israeli-Palestinian front...
...Aaliyah's debut album, "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number" was a beautifully restrained work - her girlish, breathy vocals rode calmly on R.Kelly's rough beats.

Arafat had previously made compatible proposals, and the fact that the U.S. has reportedly been pressing Sharon to ease up on his seven...
...production at nearly a 50-year low and oil reserves in this country shrinking, George Bush has made ANWR's development a key part of his energy package. The House finally decided to approve drilling in the refuge, largely on the promise of two important numbers. First, to calm moderates in his party, Republican Congressman John Sununu of New Hampshire tacked an amendment to the energy bill limiting the drilling to just 2,000 of the 1.5 million acres along the coast plain. Then, the Teamsters muscled 36 Democrats into voting for the drilling, claiming it would create over...
