...have to say we were a bit reluctant to push the President," says Margolev. So at 6 one morning, after Yeltsin had slept barely three hours, Video International taped him for about 40 minutes. The finished commercial had Yeltsin speaking for more than two minutes. He looked exhausted. "It was ridiculous," says Shumate. "Here you have a guy whose health is a major issue, and his fitness to serve is called into question by his very own television spot...
...invariably promises his Cabinet lots of responsibility and respect, but everyone knows the truth--the President will thoroughly dominate the Administration, and he will treat most of his Cabinet Secretaries like slightly dim distant cousins. In Israel matters have always been different. Ministers there control powerful baronies, and they push hard on the Prime Minister, as do party elders and testy coalition partners.

Michini says simply, "Hartmut is the coach who will take me where I want to go." While they look to Buschbacher for knowledge and often inspiration, the women turn...
Golon spent weeks in Europe last summer poring over historic photo archives for the opening picture essay. She also unerringly matched photographer to subject for the rest of the issue. Her best decision, though, was to push TIME's editors to look at black-and-white photographs shot by David Burnett at last summer's Olympic Festival in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In this era of motor-driven photography, Burnett stepped back in time and tried to capture the essential moment in one shot.
