...DIED. RUSS MEYER, 82, soft-core-porn director and master of the "sexploitation" genre; in Hollywood. A World War II combat cameraman and onetime Playboy-centerfold photographer, Meyer directed titillating '60s classics like Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! and Vixen. He borrowed from his own genial, breast-obsessed farces for 1970's nutty major-studio masterpiece, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, written by a young Roger Ebert.

Even Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has cultivated an image of unyielding toughness, seems shaken. Beslan provided devastating proof that the core of his macho approach to politics--his promise to rub out secessionists--was nothing but empty words. And so he reached for a safety blanket of his own last week, announcing a series of moves aimed at consolidating political power in the Kremlin. Under Putin's plan, the 89 regional governors will henceforth be appointed, not elected. Russia's parliament, the Duma, will be elected only from party lists, not from constituencies.
