Last week brought another indirect sign of U.S. sympathies in the election. The International Monetary Fund gave initial approval to a $10.2 billion loan to Russia, benefiting Yeltsin at a time when his government is strapped. The decision had the strong backing of the U.S., which wields powerful influence at the imf. In April Clinton will give Yeltsin another boost by holding a meeting with him when members of the G-7 economic conference pay a visit to Moscow. That event, and the other moves with respect to the Russian election that the Administration will make between now and June...
...students. The charitable holiday food drive was an example of precisely where the council can be most effective--in the coordination of student effort for good causes. The Valentine's Day Datamatch survey was able to add something to an otherwise dull campus humor life, albeit in an indirect manner. We must, however, note one remarkable faliure which could have and should have been avoided, namely the pathetic direct-dial Washington phone bank. Perhaps all activities can't be winners, but let's not embarrass the student body with such dismal ones...

...wise, then, that Parker's Mood, a tribute album to Parker by the Roy Hargrove-Christian McBride-Stephen Scott Trio, takes such an intriguingly indirect approach to its subject.

The result of their duplication by subtraction is an album that instead of being haunted by Bird's ghost is infused with his spirit...
...provided by the Progress and Freedom Foundation, the think tank through which the Speaker's college course was funded. Though Gingrich is no longer connected formally with the foundation, his sympathetic attention to what it produces is enough to bring it support from people who see it as an indirect route to the Speaker's ear. "Of all the think tanks, that's one whose reports are not just going to sit on the shelf,'' says lobbyist Jim Tozzi, whose firm has helped tobacco and chemical firms fight government regulations. "If I give somebody money, I want to make sure...
