...Moore connection was at its prime on the first power play, as freshman center Dominic Moore picked up his fifth career goal. Steve Moore took a pass from sophomore defenseman Peter Capouch and sent a pass across the crease to his younger brother who banged it home...
...nothing personal. Luzhkov--who has strenuously denied each of the accusations--is being targeted because he is a leader, along with former Prime Minister Yevgeni Primakov, of Fatherland-All Russia, the main opposition group running in Russia's Dec. 19 parliamentary elections. And the fight between the Kremlin and Fatherland is less for the Duma, or lower house of Parliament, than for position in the June 2000 presidential elections. The success of the Luzhkov-Primakov alliance in next weekend's vote will decide whether current Prime Minister Vladimir Putin can expect to coast into the presidency next June or will...
...ring as "Are you better off?" or even "Where's the beef?" but for Bradley this represented a quantum leap in combativeness.

But public enthusiasm for the war in Chechnya has propelled neophyte prime minister Vladimir Putin into...
...Overall, the election is likely to be good news for both Yeltsin and his appointed successor, Putin. A strong showing by Unity, as well as the pro-Kremlin Union of Right-Wing Forces headed by former prime minister Sergei Kiriyenko, will create a solid pro-Kremlin bloc in the traditionally anti-Kremlin legislature. That's an effect primarily of the Chechnya war, although it also illustrates that Russian politics is something of a funhouse mirror to multiparty democracy. Russia's communist-era nomenklaturacontinue to compete for power among themselves in an ever-shifting series of hidden transactions, in which party...
