Amid repeated failed truces in Chechnya a new cease-fire appears fragile. Gen Aleksandr Lebed, adviser to President Yeltsin and a potential heir, plays a pivotal role in attempting to end Russia’s war of conquest.
Lebed, a decorated Soviet veteran, gains third in the presidential race by calling for ending the Chechen war. He criticizes Russian security services as corrupt, praises rebels, and urges humanitarian troop withdrawal. The piece contrasts US reaction, Clinton's stance, and historic analogies to justify external pressure rather than intervention.
Beck argues at the Republican National Convention Mary Fisher used to spotlight AIDS, prompting a broader debate on politics and medicine. He compares AIDS advocacy with cancer, notes rapid HIV advances, and warns that managed care and funding cuts threaten research, training, and government involvement in health care.
Thomas notes public viewing shifts from big media to C-Span and the Family Channel, arguing networks broadcast partisan, one‑sided coverage. He cites Cokie Roberts and Bill Schneider criticisms, lack of coverage of Feelings, and the rise of unedited coverage on alternative channels.
