Leningrad's dynamic mayor does not claim that he can solve all the city's problems by himself. Sobchak believes it is up to Gorbachev to exercise his presidential powers and ensure that republics and regions make scheduled deliveries of food to the country's cities. He also wants the national Congress of the People's Deputies to take urgent measures to untangle the confusion that reigns in local government. In his view, the concentration of legislative, executive and oversight powers into the hands of city councils has become a "minefield of exploding booby traps." But he does nurture...
...California, as in Europe, winemaking has historically been a male prerogative. No longer. Inspired and encouraged by Mary Ann Graf and then Zelma Long at Sonoma's Simi Winery, a number of women have taken up the vinting craft, and are increasingly making their talents known. Kristin Belair, 31, a graduate of the University of California at Davis, is a newcomer to reckon with: the Wine Spectator rated her 1986 Johnson Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon 13th on its recent list of 100 "Hottest Wines."

But for the Adventurous Oenophile and his ilk, the discovery of a promising little Merlot from North Carolina (try Biltmore's) or a delicate Eiswein from Michigan (taste one from Chateau Grand Traverse) will always be worth the cost...
...noise. The bear has walked into the dressing enclosure; he and the animal stare at each other for a tense moment until the bear leaves. In a narrow valley by a trout stream, Tim Anderson, 13, is asked to describe his favorite trekking moment. "The tall white trees ((aspens)) make me think of fresh air and a clean world," he says. At a lunch break, crusty former scoutmaster El Rey Ensch, 51, holds up his wrist for everyone to see the butterfly lighting...
