...stability," its effect may be the opposite: The prime minister wants to reverse last week's ruble devaluation package and is expected to drop Anatoly Chubais from his cabinet -- one of the few Russian politicians to enjoy any confidence among Western bankers. President Clinton, when he arrives at the Kremlin next week, may feel as if he's walked into the Mad Hatter's tea party.
