Moscow visit by Michael Jackson ends with gift from Korzhakov
Michael Jackson met former Kremlin bodyguard Alexander Korzhakov in a Moscow hotel room a day before a concert. Korzhakov arrived in a black tie with a Cossack saber once given by Nicholas II to a battle officer. Jackson sought to meet security chief Alexander Lebed but was denied amid Yeltsin circle purges. Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov praised the singer. In Winston-Salem, Dennis Rodman teased a L'Eggs commercial as the pantyhose maker dismisses him with remarks about leg prowess.

Health care experts plan a national electronic Master Patient Index spanning cradle to grave to improve care and record access.
