"The Chechens probably won't like this first proposal," reports TIME Moscow correspondent Sally Donnelly, "since they have been fighting all this time to establish an independent republic.

"He wants too much," said Yeltsin, at first referring to Yavlinsky's demands that he fire much of his Cabinet, but later the President decided he could "accept" many of them...
