Yeltsin's illness cast doubts on whether he will be able to attend the scheduled meeting with the presidents of Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia. A decision is expected tomorrow on whether the Russians will go ahead with the summit, possibly with Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin presiding if Yeltsin is unable to attend.

But just last year at its "murder summit," the International Association of Police Chiefs concluded otherwise: because their figures show that most women who are murdered are killed by men they know who have previously attacked them, the chiefs agreed that one of the most efficient ways to reduce the homicide rate is to build more shelters...
