They flee by the thousands -- in horse-drawn carts stacked high with clothes and furniture; on bicycles balancing precarious bundles; on foot, arms laden with any belongings they can carry. Since Abkhazian rebels broke a Russian- mediated cease-fire and drove Georgian forces out of the Black Sea region, seizing its capital, Sukhumi, an estimated 200,000 Georgians are thought to have been uprooted. Some have been trudging for days through the bitter-cold, snow-covered mountains of the Caucasus, headed mainly into cities of western Georgia. In Sukhumi the Abkhazian insurgents are accused of having carried out mass ''ethnic...
...Victor) offers a happy opportunity to hear afresh Horowitz's brand of keyboard magic without the imposing presence of the man. Horowitz's Columbia recordings provide a distinctive but narrow view of his art. By the early 1960s, he had shorn himself of his reputation as a fire- breathing virtuoso, all flash and no substance.

...Bell Atlantic-TCI marriage will face months of scrutiny from armies of Washington regulators, Justice Department attorneys and state and local agencies.

While the deliberations will probably last until the middle of next year, the deal came under immediate fire from Howard Metzenbaum, the Ohio Democrat who chairs the antitrust panel of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Boost phase provides certain other opportunities for the defender. As missiles rocket through the atmosphere, their thrusters emit a hot, bright tail of fire, making them an excellent target for heat-seeking infrared sensors. SDI researchers hope to develop small, inexpensive but highly accurate self-guided missiles known as ''smart rocks,'' which could home in on a rapidly moving missile or warhead and destroy it by force of impact. But if boost-phase kill...
...married to Konstantin Zaklinsky, one of the Kirov's leading male dancers and its handsomest. She likes to dance with him, cook for him, anything but rehearse with him. ''We are both very critical, and we tell each other the truth.'' Offstage, she shows little of the fire that ignites her performances, but perhaps she does not need to. Says Elena Tchernichova, an A.B.T. ballet mistress and former Kirov dancer: ''God didn't make a single mistake with this girl.'' ALESSANDRA FERRI. No one would ever picture Ferri as a drowsing Oriental beauty. She seems made for motion: wraith-thin...
