...Sigue Sigue Sputnik is a British band dedicated to new-wave rock music and what the group's bassist, Tony James, calls designer violence. The group is about to make a major breakthrough: its first LP, Sigue Sigue Sputnik Flaunt It, will be released in July in Britain--complete with commercials. The record has the ambiguous distinction of being the first to hawk wares between the cuts. Eight to ten 20- to 30-second tracks on the EMI record will extol such salables as cellular mobile telephones and fashion and youth magazines. According to Sigue Sigue, each advertising track will...
...Minister Vladimir Putin has called the collapse of the Soviet Union "the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century." During the cold war, Russia would celebrate Victory Day each year on May 9 by holding a parade to honor its triumph over the invading forces of Nazi Germany.

Bryer says several of the choir members are HIV positive; many others are the sole breadwinners for extended families that include several AIDS orphans. Even if it had the money to flaunt its success, the choir decided early on not to do so, but instead to channel its energy and fund-raising abilities toward community projects, particularly the choir's own AIDS orphan foundation, Vukani. "We couldn't lose touch with what's happening in Soweto, even if we wanted to," says...
...underscores three alarming features of the current international system. First, it exposes the chill in relations between the U.S. and Russia, which is making it difficult for the U.N. Security Council to meet 21st century collective-security challenges. Putin has used the Kosovo standoff as yet another excuse to flaunt his petro-powered invincibility, sending his likely successor, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev, to Belgrade to sign a gas agreement. If a firm international response is to be mobilized toward Iran, Sudan or other trouble spots in the coming years, the U.S. will have to find a way to persuade...
