...impasse was becoming known as the Washington fight that closed down the Grand Canyon, and Arizona Governor Fife Symington was having none of it. Friday morning, Symington ordered National Guard troops to the canyon to "render assistance" until furloughed National Park Service workers return. A few hours later, the Interior Department ordered the governor to stand down. If the Guard did it for the Grand Canyon, Interior's lawyers reasoned, they would have to do it for all 369 parks and monuments in the country. "Once that started snowballing, you couldn't control it," said Park Service spokesman David Barna...
...convalescence at a sanatorium. The U.S. has made a very private offer of medical assistance but so far has received no response. As next in line for the presidency, Chernomyrdin has been careful to affirm that Yeltsin remains fully in charge even while hospitalized. Still, the Defense and Interior ministers, together with the chiefs of the security services--the crucial power ministers, as they are called--as well as the Foreign Minister, have been reporting directly to the Prime Minister...

...neutralize the wayward acid, but as acid continues to migrate upward from the stomach, heartburn can return in only a few hours. Acid blockers like Pepcid and Tagamet, on the other hand, go to the root of the problem by suppressing the production of acid in cells lining the interior of the stomach without interfering with normal digestion. These cells normally produce acid when a form of histamine called H2 "docks" with receptors in the cell walls, much like a key fitting into a lock. But acid blockers, called H2 antagonists, prevent that production by seeking out and fitting snugly...
