Russian officials were delighted that President Boris Yeltsin got through last week's visit to Rome without any of the major gaffes that have become commonplace on his overseas sorties. His hosts were less impressed. Once known for his grasp of complex briefs in high-level negotiations, Yeltsin seemed confused during his meetings, officials said, and reportedly had difficulty telling Italy's Prime Minister, ROMANO PRODI, from the country's President, OSCAR LUIGI SCALFARO.

...according to knowledgeable federal sources, is that once the investigation is closed, FBI agents will be hamstrung in their ability to pursue other, potentially more serious questions about fund-raising activities by Clinton or Gore. Justice lawyers have insisted that FBI agents cannot fish around in the affairs of high-level officials unless there is an open investigation and "predication," meaning a specific basis for believing that the person under scrutiny may have broken a law. The dialing-for-dollars case had provided the FBI with a hook to ask extensive questions about fund raising by Clinton and Gore...
