Ruble to become fully convertible by August
Moscow economists say Russia will make the ruble fully convertible by August with an initial rate near 40 rubles to $1. The move aims to meet IMF criteria and stabilize the currency for freer exchange. In Washington, primaries in Indiana, North Carolina and D C drew attention to Los Angeles riots as Clinton and Bush faced tight battle lines. Clinton held a large delegate lead toward July nomination. Polls favored Bush in a head to head race, with Perot close behind and Buchanan fading.
