Richard Celeste has worked to improve the lot of battered women for much of his public career -- even turning his former home into a shelter for them. Last week, in a dramatic final act before relinquishing the Ohio governorship, he granted clemency to 25 abused women convicted of killing or assaulting their mates. The move, the first such mass commutation in the nation, was hailed by women's rights groups as a major victory in the fight to treat violence-prone battered women as victims, not criminals.

...Soviet officials met twice a year; last week's visit in Houston was the 23rd meeting between Secretary of State James Baker and Shevardnadze, who managed in their whirlwind consultations to cover everything from Angola and Afghanistan to arms control and the Persian Gulf crisis. During the final Rose Garden ceremony on an unseasonably warm December afternoon, President Bush announced that he would travel to Moscow in mid-February for a fourth summit with Gorbachev, with the hope of signing a START treaty reducing the superpowers' arsenals of long-range nuclear weapons...
