Shaposhnikov's fears may be exaggerated, but the utter failure of the C.I.S. to mediate even a temporary cease-fire in Karabakh suggests that the Commonwealth may go the way of its Soviet predecessor. Five of the 11 leaders invited to the most recent C.I.S. summit meeting failed even to show, and the leading Azeri presidential candidate last week declared his intention to withdraw Azerbaijan from the Commonwealth entirely...
...journal, which its founders say seeks to "reclaim the liberal dialogue," opened its Cambridge doors less than a decade after its predecessor, Working Papers, folded. That publication operated in a building across the street from the new offices...
