...have to go back at least 18 years to find a moment of comparable Washington-Moscow tension. President Boris Yeltsin arrived in Istanbul Wednesday spoiling for a fight when he meets President Clinton at Thursday's summit meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Amid rising Western alarm over Moscow?s military campaign in Chechnya, Clinton plans to warn Yeltsin that Russia's policy of flattening the breakaway region in order to strike at terrorists is a "dead end," and that external mediation is required.

...Thursday another fullback, Eulices Sierra, asked Cruz to the dance. That night she found a sassy little purple number with a sheer top. And then at halftime of the game on Friday, the princess in shoulder pads traded her helmet for a crown and climbed into a white Mazda Miata convertible for the parade of queen candidates. She looked stunning, if a little sweaty...
