- <p> Boris Yeltsin, the comeback kid of Russian politics, deftly
- toppled the Kremlin and inherited the nuclear button...The
- Teamsters said goodbye to the Mafia. Against all odds, the most
- corrupt U.S. labor union elected an underdog reformer as
- president--Watch out, wiseguys...Sam Skinner moved up from
- Transportation Secretary to displace arrogant-to-the-end John
- Sununu. Skinner was just what George Bush needed--a crisis
- manager who flies coach class...Wal-Mart isn't just a
- discount store anymore. Sam Walton's brainchild surpassed Sears
- in 1991 as the largest U.S. retailer...Nirvana found its
- place in alternative-rock heaven. The hit single Smells Like
- Teen Spirit has become an anthem for apathetic kids...Aung
- San Suu Kyi couldn't pick up her Nobel Peace Prize this year

- under house arrest, but she provides a beacon of democratic hope
- to people caught in one of the world's worst remaining tyrannies...Luke Perry and Jason Priestly are the lucky residents of
- Beverly Hills, 90210, the coolest ZIP code on earth. For fans

- contact, however, is still permitted.
