After drifting lower at a sleepy pace for most of the day, the Dow Jones industrial average abruptly lurched into a hair- raising sky dive in the final hour of trading. By the time the 4 p.m. closing bell halted the rout, the index had dropped a nightmarish 190.58 points, or nearly 7%, to close...

...majority of ethnic Armenians. Moscow sought to defuse the issue by assuming direct rule of Nagorno-Karabakh, where it has stationed 4,500 troops. But the dispute, which has so far claimed more than 100 lives, will not go away. On the contrary, it has escalated into something very close to civil war. In both republics ferocious animosities generated by the rivalries have brought to the fore nationalist groups threatening secession. Indeed, traveling between the two republics, a visitor finds it difficult to imagine how they can continue to exist in the same country much longer...
