...diminished and military intervention unthinkable, there may be little the West can actually do to restrain Moscow. Russian troops are closing in on Grozny, and the missile attack fits their pattern of using air and artillery strikes to drive out civilians ahead of sending in ground troops. "Russia?s triumphal procession through Chechnya's sparsely populated northern plains has ended," says TIME Moscow bureau chief Paul Quinn-Judge. "The real war, for the towns and villages of the rugged south, has begun, and its bloodiness could soon eclipse even the Grozny marketplace attack...

...triumphal moment for Montgomery, a jowly 75-year-old who was surrounded by fellow veterans of the cold war for a sightseeing tour of Stasi, East Germany's spy agency. The unusual trip through the espionage landmarks of Berlin was part of a conference, "On the Front Lines of the Cold War," sponsored by the CIA's Center for the Study of Intelligence and the Allied Museum in Berlin.

Bill Clinton openly declared "victory" in a nationally televised address Thursday night, followed by a triumphal tour Friday of Whiteman Air Force Base, home to the lethal B-2 bombers that emerged as the technological heroes of the war. But that evening, faces at the White House turned ashen.

...Last week CRISTINA SANCHEZ, 27, the world's premier female matador, retired, saying she was no longer willing or able to battle the machismo of her male colleagues. A professional since 1996, Sanchez last year became the first woman to perform in Spain's hallowed Las Ventas ring, a triumphal appearance in which she proved she could sever a bull's ear with the best of them. Since then, however, Sanchez says her male counterparts have effectively blackballed her from choice venues. "The bullfighting world is made by and for men," she said, "but I still have the pride that...
