...have created a "wild and barbaric" multiparty system. Despite the Communists' disastrous showing in local elections, Belov believes the party has the only effective organizational structure to prevent the city -- and nation -- from plunging into anarchy. The party, for example, has carefully maintained its ties to Leningrad's powerful network of military factories...
This selective rate increase was especially distasteful because of the way it was attached to the Enhanced 911 Public Safety Network and much-needed improvements in service to handicapped people with telecommunication services.

British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's tenuous hold on her job may have finally loosened while she was in Paris. Gorbachev's junketing, while helping him become the toast...
Bush and his White House handlers were hoping that last week's excursion carried its own antidote to pessimism. There were 350 journalists accompanying the President, and most of them seemed to approve of his performance. The network anchors rushed for their desert tunics and created as much stir among the troops as the President himself. At the end of the Thanksgiving stage show, elaborate broadcasting facilities in the middle of the desolate sand beamed back live reports from the media superstars...
