...weeks ago for the second time in just over three months for what was described as "an insufficiency of oxygenated blood to the heart," showed up on the evening news in a 40-sec. video clip produced by the Kremlin. Dressed in a blue, green and white track suit, the pale, puffy-faced President sat slumped in a chair next to Prime Minister Victor Chernomyrdin.
