...Harvard Foundation conducts a yearlong series of programs with the aim of improving racial understanding and encouraging positive relationships among students of different races and ethnicities on our campus.

This was the old Yeltsin again, showing rebellious parliamentarians that he was ready to absorb whatever blows they delivered -- and then hit them harder than ever before. It may have come too late. His enemies threatened to impeach him before he could even get a popular vote organized. But on Sunday he won crucial support from the entire government, including the ministers of defense and security, that could keep him safe until April...
