This obviously isn’t the composed stiletto and cigar crowd of Pravda 116 or the cheesy eurotrash crowd of Roxy, both of which are around the corner. While those house and trance clubs are about dressing to impress (and, one must admit, even ravers have their claim to fashion-consciousness), the ideal drum ’n’ bass weekly is all about keeping it real and relaxed.

The erstwhile communist mouthpiece reports that Russia's generals want to send troops back into Afghanistan, in the hope of backing up their Tajik allies against U.S.-backed Uzbeks in the battle for supremacy among rival factions of the Northern Alliance. Russia wants to restore the Tajik-led government overthrown by the Taliban in 1996. "Pakistan is against such development of the events, as well the U.S.A., due to the efforts...
