...head with Gorbachev in the Mediterranean on Dec. 2. Gorbachev is not a closet democrat, a philanthropist or a fool. His handshake will be warm, but based on his past record we can assume that he will have a card or two up his sleeve. We should never treat China as a card. But it would not serve our interests if Gorbachev were able to do so. Today the Chinese are talking to the Russians, and we are talking to the Russians. But we don't talk to each other.

Environmental groups support the park strategy, which would de-list wolves only after ten breeding pairs are established in Yellowstone and Glacier parks and the Idaho wilderness...
...have mesmerized others into losing up to 60 lbs. The Ukrainian has thousands of fans, apparently even among the bureaucracy. Last week, under official auspices, Kashpirovsky held a briefing at the Foreign Ministry Press Center. "People sometimes see me and idolize me," he said, adding that he could treat AIDS. "Give me 500 or 600 patients in a hall. I am sure that several months later some will be cured...
