* * * * GWENDOLYN STEWART is
also a political scientist specializing in political leadership in Russia,
China, and the U.S. A former
Bunting Fellow (Radcliffe), she is an Associate
(and former
Post-Doctoral Fellow) of the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies
at Harvard and an Associate
in Research of the Harvard Fairbank Center for
Chinese Studies. For the Fairbank Center she co-founded and co-chaired
the China
Current Events Workshop, which examines pressing issues in Greater China.
Her Harvard Ph.D. dissertation (Sic
Transit) dealt with the role of the leaders of the republics,
especially Boris Yeltsin, in the breakup of the Soviet Union. She
is currently writing RUSSIA REDUX, the
story of Russia under Yeltsin and Putin: part political analysis, part
travel-memoir. Imagine wandering over the largest country on
earth, not in the train of a railroad, but in the train of one of the most
powerful and contradictory men on earth. Or all by
yourself. POLITICS &

AN ONGOING ACCOUNT OF THE PRESIDENCY OF
GEORGE W. BUSH

Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton
suddenly burst onto the national scene at the 1988 Democratic National
Convention in Atlanta with an agonizingly long speech, which sent him
scrambling to the Tonight Show to poke fun at himself afterwards. It was
the first sign of the Comeback Kid to come.
In March 1997 President Clinton
was riding high, and Boris Yeltsin was down, way down, after multiple-bypass heart surgery.
Eager to press his advantage on NATO enlargement, Bill Clinton very kindly
allowed his summit with Yeltsin to be held in Helsinki, to make traveling
easier for the Russian president. But it was Clinton who had to suffer being
delivered from Air Force One by a Finn Air catering truck (he had injured
himself coming down golfer Greg Norman's stairs in the dark, it was reported).
Boris Yeltsin triumphantly descended from his new presidential jet under his
own power. He did, nonetheless, however reluctantly, acquiesce in NATO
enlargement. MORE ON BILL

are still fighting for final possession of the southern Kurils ("Northern

make a tour.

This photograph to me captures Anne's duality, and argues against reducing her to her death.
Cover the top part of the picture; look at the legs tortuously twisted together. It is well known that she made a number of attempts to kill herself. Now cover the bottom half of the photograph, and look at the arms and radiant face. She told me she always felt joyous when she was rescued from those attempts. There was of course no final rescue, but I am not convinced that she "really" meant this suicide attempt, that she would not have welcomed another rescue. -- Gwendolyn Stewart
