...wasn't well enough to greet MADELEINE ALBRIGHT. And he hasn't made it to his Kremlin office once this year. 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. The groom, we are cryptically told, is a "fellow classmate." (Katya is a history major at Moscow State, although she has been on "academic leave.") Kremlin handlers are willing to discuss the particulars of the President's bleeding ulcer, but Katya's nuptials--which, given her grandpa's state...

ITAR-Tass reported today that Nina Bogdanova of the village of Boborets was attacked by a bear that bit through her hand after she had accidentally entered its lair. Unfazed, Bogdanova whipped out a knife and stabbed the bear to death. She then went home and had a doctor stitch her up without anesthetic...
