But it may be hard for them to summon up the organization and courage to turn Stepashin down. Parliamentary leaders like communist leader Gennadi Zyuganov sounded winded after the impeachment debate wound down, exhausted by Yeltsin's apparent political immortality...

It could have been worse. Some $270 million...
...Oglesbee. Another version has Harris and Klebold counting to three, then executing each other; some law-enforcement sources say it could even be true. Though ballistics results have not been released, District Attorney Dave Thomas told TIME that the forensics suggest double suicide. But given the location of one wound and the fact that the bullet that passed through Klebold's head has not been recovered, he doesn't dismiss the possibility of a murder-suicide. Says Thomas: "We may never know." Game Over...
