...director of the Institute of Economic Analysis, is the result of a "brilliant scheme," under way for months, by the tycoons to return to power the one man they believed could protect their interests. Men in the Chernomyrdin camp acknowledge that Berezovsky played a major role in encouraging the cautious former Prime Minister to come out publicly last summer with his plan to run for President in 2000. They confirm that the two met to discuss the future shortly before Yeltsin fired Kiriyenko and his whole Cabinet. Unlikely to be anything but lackluster on the stump, Chernomyrdin would now gain...
...instapolls are to be believed, the American people gave a very cautious thumbs-up to a very cautious speech. In an overnight poll from CNN, 53 percent claimed to be satisfied with the President's remarks. His job approval rating remained steady at 62 percent. Straw polls from the terrestrial networks offered similar figures. As always with Clinton, however, there were contradictions: An ABC poll had 68 percent saying he should not resign, even though 52 percent believed he did obstruct justice -- the only offense for which he could reasonably be impeached...
DIED. WILLIAM MCCHESNEY MARTIN JR., 91, even-keeled Chairman of the Federal Reserve for 19 years; in Washington.

...gods, we are cautious. We send the animals before us. The Soviets launched a dog called Laika on a Sputnik 2 space vehicle in 1957; in 1961 the Americans fired up a chimpanzee named Ham in a Mercury capsule. Presumably Ham, with his evolutionary advantage, had a richer experience in space than the astronaut dog. When America at last committed a human life to the venture, Shepard advanced the space program by an evolutionary quantum leap. He lived to become more famous still by playing golf on the moon during his Apollo 14 expedition...
Glover and Gibson take their characters far beyond the domain of normal sequel heroes. Murtaugh has always been the quintessential head of household, guarding his flock; Glover's understated performance captures the essence of a cautious man. Riggs has cleaned up and settled down since his first days as Murtaugh's partner, so Gibson doesn't have the crazed Vietnam vet side of his character to play with like he did in the original, but Gibson is equally adept with his characters mellowed thoughtfulness...
