...reception for the laureates highlighted by culinary delights such as handmade Swedish chocolate and cheese puffs, Richard J. Roberts, the joint discoverer of "split genes" and the co-winner of the prize in medicine and physiology, said that he hadn't grasped the full extent of the honor. It was difficult for even a scientist of his magnitude to completely fathom the significance of the laurels bestowed upon...
Inside the Luxor is a fake river and barges, plus several huge "participatory adventure" areas, an ersatz archaeological ride, as well as a two-story Sega virtual-reality video-game arcade.

After the October showdown, the Kremlin tinkered with the draft to tighten central control over Russia's 89 regions and autonomous republics. Federal laws are given precedence over local legislative acts, and natural resources are subject to joint federal and local control. Anticipating trouble in the hinterlands, which have exploited tensions in Moscow to go their own way, last week Kremlin advisers bluntly told local leaders in the ethnic republics of Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Tuva and Kalmykia to refrain from "irresponsible remarks," hinting that the Kremlin might take measures to bring them into line...
