Video-store owners in Helsinki may want to relegate all GEENA DAVIS' movies to the back shelves again. The quirky actress and her Finnish husband of four years, action-movie director RENNY HARLIN, have been separated since April, publicists for each say. While popular opinion holds that this is because the two movies they made together, Cutthroat Island and The Long Kiss Goodnight, were such box-office poison, the couple say they intend to keep working together. Perhaps they'll even take a leaf out of JERRY HALL and MICK JAGGER's book of marital adventures. Barely seven months after...
...Wednesday morning, hours before he was to fly to Helsinki, Clinton was in a characteristic dither.

With the Russian Foreign Minister taking an increasingly hard line towards expansion, Clinton laid several concessions out on the table. Among them were a charter to give Russian more participation in NATO proceedings, joint peacekeeping operations similar to those in Bosnia and promises that NATO would not deploy troops in substantial numbers in newly admitted states. But because none of the proposals addressed one of Russia's most...
