Last month Grachev was summoned before the Communist-dominated State Duma (the lower house of the Russian parliament). The Duma wanted an explanation for the slaughter of up to 93 Russian soldiers in a rebel ambush in Chechnya. Grachev publicly decried "all the outrages that are happening in this country" and offered to resign, should the Duma require it. "He was signaling to Yeltsin that his loyalty could not be taken for granted," says the defense analyst.

U.N. officials insist Israel realized that some 5,000 Lebanese civilians had taken refuge from Israeli attacks at several peacekeeping posts. "I don't want to believe it was deliberate," Captain Lindvall said of the slaughter. "But if it was a mistake, it was an inexcusable mistake. There has been a U.N. position there since 1978." Even some Israelis scoff at official disclaimers. "How the hell could they not have known?" asks an official. "If they know the location of one radio transmitter in a single...
