Yeltsin leads Russian race for president
Boris Yeltsin held a narrow lead over Communist rival Gennady Zyuganov as Russia tunes into its first real choice for the nation's future. With 58 percent counted, Yeltsin had 35 percent to Zyuganov's 32 percent and former general Alexander Lebed at 15 percent, signaling a possible July runoff and shaping postvote alliances.
