But what really got BORIS YELTSIN upset was missing the wedding of his eldest grandchild. KATYA OKULOVA, ITAR-TASS was pleased to report, married at the tender age of 19.

A medicine man sits in his doorway; he cannot rise to greet us because his right leg is greatly swollen from a snakebite. He has treated his wound successfully. Some children follow us as we go, but most are too self-possessed to become groupies. When approached, they respond to questions politely, but mainly they seem to be studying...
