For Yeltsin, says Michael Mandelbaum, the Johns Hopkins University professor who wrote the Clinton transition team's Russia memo, "it's a chicken and egg thing. He'll never be in firm control politically until the economy improves, and the economy won't improve until he takes the the tough economic measures he's been constrained from taking because he's weak politically." The trick is to get cash to Moscow, not loans and credits...

Scientists sort out X and Y carriers by tagging sperm with a fluorescent dye; under ultraviolet light, the X sperm glow brighter. Then the sperm are electrically charged -- positive for male, negative for female -- and a laser beam separates the two. Egg and appropriate sperm are mated in a glass dish, and the resulting embryo is implanted in a cow. The technique is about 90% reliable, which is pretty good odds for farmers to get more beef for the buck. Theoretically, a similar process could be developed for selecting human sex, though that ethical quandary does not appear imminent...
