Just when you thought you'd seen enough milk-mustache ads to make you lactose intolerant, along come the wags at Comedy Central to milk the image some more. In a parody that will appear in the normally rather sober Advertising Age trade magazine, NEWT GINGRICH, bearing a feather mustache, gives his advice on eating crow. "The key is start early. With just a few feathers a day," says the copy. "Then when the time comes to swallow the whole bird, you won't gag a bit." The American Dairy Association isn't a Comedy Central advertiser, but its sister...
...Falta, two druggy friends of an equally druggy American poet living in Mexico want to take him to see a nearby volcano. ?The way,? the poet is told once the trip has begun, ?is to go up the mountain and make it all complete.?

So we flock to a rat-hole where the workers make the pizza, handle your money and smoke cigarettes all at the same time...
...attempt to "take Russia out of Europe, isolate Russia, for which European nations will pay very dearly." The counter-offensive: to strengthen ties with CIS neighbors such as Ukraine and Kazakhstan and Belarus. A man infamous for his extravagant p romises, Yeltsin wisely made few in a sober and sobering 24-minute address. One, to pay all pensions owed by June 3, actually drew some smiles from Duma members.
