...Yeltsin's chauffeur, he dropped his boss off in Uspensky armed with two dozen roses. The bridge from which Yeltsin supposedly was tossed measured 50 ft. high and the water below 3 ft. deep -- a set of facts that would have left Yeltsin with serious injuries in any real fall. Yet aside from his soaking, Yeltsin was none the worse for wear. Said Bakatin to Supreme Soviet Deputies: "There was no attack...
Political bias is only one element of the unchecked-error syndrome. Another could be labeled the pseudoauthoritative dodge. Washingtonian, a prosperous, glossy monthly, does an annual salary survey.

At Mariposa House Restaurant in the same town, owner Barbara Kuhl said her building "did the Shimmy, Shimmy Ko-Ko Bop, but we didn't lose a thing." Her porch, however, had "gone out to meet two little old ladies" arriving for dinner...
Around Labor Day, however, the consensus that Darman had put together began to fall apart. "Everything was going along swimmingly," explains an Administration official, "until the drug plan came out of nowhere, and then capital gains became partisan instead of the easy way out." The battle against drugs meant new spending, and Democrats began attacking a capital- gains cut as a Republican tax goody for the rich and famous...
