MOSCOW: What's Boris Yeltsin so mad about? TIME Moscow Bureau Chief Paul Quinn-Judge says the Russian president's tirade over U.S. missile strikes is equal parts bluster, envy and a little dog-wagging of his own. "On one level, he feels personally slighted about being out of the loop on the attack," says Quinn-Judge. "But like Clinton, Yeltsin has a domestic scandal of his own to contend with: his devaluation of the ruble.

And for a while The Negotiator is just that, with a genuinely puzzling mystery built in (if Roman isn't the killer, who is?). But Hollywood doesn't trust talk, particularly...
...been lavishly rewarded for serving a particular political master. He has never made a serious attempt to engage his black opponents in a serious debate about his ideas. He owes his meteoric rise exclusively to the patronage of conservative white Republicans with little interest in racial equality. They first took notice of Thomas in 1980 when he cruelly--and falsely--accused his sister of becoming dependent on welfare. As Ronald Reagan's chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, he poured disdain on affirmative action--even though it helped him get admitted to Yale Law School. When George Bush...
