...little bit like Maggie Thatcher. I don't think he's of her stature. (I must say of all the politicians I've disliked in my life, she has the most stature. Her only equal in the world was Gorbachev.) Like Thatcher, Bush is full of cant -- he believes what it is necessary for him to believe at any given moment. No philosophy whatsoever...
...unlike his relatives and friends, Nemov will remain behind. He is one of a growing number of Jews who are choosing not to join the 310,000 of their brethren who have moved to Israel since Mikhail Gorbachev relaxed the restrictions on emigration in 1989. They know that at home the winter promises only hardship and that the rise of nationalist groups could revive harsh anti- Semitism. But they also see around them the signs of renewal for Soviet Jewry -- the gradual reopening of Jewish schools and cultural centers, the increasing attendance at synagogues -- and a new push for democracy...
...Soviet ambassador to the U.S., replacing coup-tainted Viktor Komplektov. Once a professor of American politics, Stankevich has put his knowledge of U.S. constitutional procedures to good use as an outspoken reformer in the Congress of People's Deputies and as a back- room tutor to Boris Yeltsin.

At the grass-roots level, the thousands who now take to the streets daily demanding Gamsakhurdia's resignation are all "plotters...
...return was ballyhooed more fervently than Gorbachev's comeback from the Crimea, but KATIE COURIC proved herself up to the hype. When the perky co-host of NBC'S Today show resumed her place on the couch Monday after a well- publicized two-month maternity leave, she did it all. Doubled forward with interest, like the most attentive date you've ever had, she quizzed Katharine Hepburn about her early days as an actress. Eyes narrowing ever so slightly in concern, she probed Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney about whether the U.S. still needs the B-2 bomber. Zoning...
