...Russian economy. "What is in store for us," he predicted, "in terms of scale of the problem exceeds what we have faced in the past." Waiting in the wings for just such a doomsday scenario to come to pass are Russia's Communists, who have consoled themselves after defeat in the recent election by predicting that Yeltsin's victory will be short-lived. Come the fall, they say, the government's credibility will be wiped out by an economic collapse, and the continuing decline in Yeltsin's health will force a new election, in which they will be swept...
...seems to fit the bill on just about all the dream qualifications: a young but experienced, conservative anti-abortion Catholic. At 47, Nickles has a solid conservative record on both social and fiscal issues; in 1992, he served as platform committee chair at the Republican National Convention and helped defeat an effort by moderates to soften the party's anti-abortion platform plank. But Nickles' abortion stance apparently has not deterred him from reveling in Dole's interest: he said in a statement Tuesday that he was "honored" to be included among those being contacted by Dole's search committee...
...evocation of an earlier era that A Time to Kill's lovability arises. The film's makers have transferred us back to a more innocent and predictable movie world, a place where good hearts are self-consciously liberal hearts, brimming--O.K., bleeding--with the belief that honorable argument will defeat vile and skulking prejudice.

Braynin wondered if the low turnout was owing to Russians' watching the Germany-Russia soccer match, and the four argued about whether Russia's defeat would cause voters to hit the vodka bottle rather than vote during the two hours remaining before the polls closed in the country's western region. "We peaked too soon," Dresner screamed. Only Shumate seemed cool. He had long before concluded that Zyuganov would never get more than 32% of the vote in the first round...
...over Communist Gennady Zyuganov came with "palpable sigh of relief," says TIME Moscow bureau chief Paul Quinn-Judge. Realizing that the President was back to stay, the Communist-led Russian Duma sent Boris Yeltsin a congratulatory telegram Friday, just one day after subdued Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov finally conceded defeat. Although Zyuganov complained about the "ruinous cost" of Yeltsin's election campaign, which saw the country blanketed in pro-Yeltsin media coverage and festooned with Yeltsin banners, he held out the promise of cooperation, provided the Communists were offered significant posts in the government. Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin even hinted...
