...President Clinton had hoped that a new face in the Kremlin might help quell the United States' disquiet over the Chechnyan situation, he was to be disappointed. The President met with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in Oslo on Tuesday, urging the former KGB colonel to go easy on the rebel republic - and was met with a resounding "nyet." Putin simply emphasized that Chechnya was an internal fight against terrorism, and shouldn't impinge on U.S.-Russian relations.

Talk about writing checks you can't cash.... President Clinton is rushing to finalize a trade agreement by the end of November to allow China entry into the World Trade Organization, according to Tuesday?s New York Times. But the fact that any deal would have to pass both houses of Congress has Beijing doubting whether Mr. Clinton can deliver, even if they do manage to strike a deal. And, of course, that's a big "if." The two sides were reportedly close to agreement when Premier Zhu Rongji visited Washington in April, but the fallout from the Chinese nuclear...
