...easy to dismiss Gilbert Kaplan as just another rich New Yorker with a hobby he can afford. Kaplan, 55, former publisher of Institutional Investor magazine, is mad for Mahler. Through his private Kaplan Foundation, formed a decade ago, he has immersed himself in the composer's life and music, tracking down every extant photograph of Mahler for a book and issuing a facsimile of Mahler's score of the Symphony No. 2, better known as the "Resurrection" Symphony--which just happens to be the object of Kaplan's special passion...

...Prince of Wales as being a member of the Royal family." So read the statement released by Buckingham Palace last week announcing that the Waleses had reached a divorce settlement.

As Prime Minister, Chernomyrdin has been No. 2 all along. The positions Lebed has been given are purely advisory, and he could be dismissed from them at any time.

...White House has moved Livingstone out of his job as head of the personnel security office. It is being reorganized by Charles Easley, a former Army counterintelligence specialist who worked for both Ronald Reagan and George Bush. Otherwise, the Administration has been trying to dismiss the latest developments in Whitewater/Fileflap as a G.O.P. attempt to find an election issue. It's campaign season, says a senior Administration official, when "every mistake is a conspiracy, every charge is a conviction, every rumor is reality...
