Although Russell seemed eager to please the group, Daniel shook his head after the meeting as he waited for a bus outside City Hall...
...University of Arizona's Steward Observatory, Timothy Spahr, 26, peered through a stereoscopic microscope, shook his head and looked again. In the combined image of two telescopic photos he had shot 30 minutes apart a few nights earlier, a bright dot with a small tail stood out starkly against the background of fixed stars. "I was extremely excited, heart pounding and all that stuff," says Spahr, a graduate student from the University of Florida who was surveying the skies for undiscovered asteroids.

That last bit of largesse was classic Yeltsin. After reviewing the college's corps of cadets, the President had an aide yell the name "Panskov" across 50 yards of parade ground.

In building a new statist movement, Zyuganov seems to be readying another version of the red-brown--that is, communist-nationalist--alliance that shook the democrats in parliament a few years ago. Zyuganov is calling on all "patriots" to rally around his banner in the cause of a powerful Russian state, an alternative to the West. His basic appeal is to all who feel anger, pain and shame at the demise of the great Soviet Union and the decline...
