...offers and speaking requests are pouring in for MIKHAIL GORBACHEV. One of the more unlikely gigs was suggested by a Nevada impresario who wants to pay Gorbachev $1 million a year to play casino host and superflack. But House Speaker Tom Foley plans to make Gorby an offer -- and honor -- he probably can't refuse: an invitation to address a joint session of Congress.

...would have been a catastrophic mistake to provide large-scale assistance to the former Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev.

...full of political contacts, dating from his years as an aide to President Lyndon B. Johnson. He has taken a hands-on approach to CNN in more ways than one. During the gulf war he brought cookies to bleary-eyed staffers working on the weekend. When ABC signed up Mikhail Gorbachev and Yeltsin for a joint interview after the failed coup, Johnson flew to Moscow and personally negotiated with them to do separate interviews on CNN first...

...Mikhail Gorbachev need feel no resentment when he hears himself described as a transitional leader. As Winston Churchill might have observed: some leader, some transition. Gorbachev presided over the dissolution of a truly evil empire, brought freedom to hundreds of millions of oppressed people and lifted the threat of a cataclysmic nuclear war. The wonder was not that the President of the Soviet Union, a fervent socialist to the end, managed his revolution well but that he launched...
