- <p>BACK TO RUSSIA HOUSE

- <p> Coming in from the cold got too hot for Edward Lee Howard,
- the CIA's only known cold-war defector to the KGB. After a short
- interlude in Stockholm, during which Swedish authorities
- considered whether he had spied against their government, Howard
- scurried back to Russia. "He's safe in Moscow," said Howard's
- lawyer. U.S. Department of Justice officials, frustrated because
- espionage is not included in the U.S.-Swedish extradition
- treaty, vowed in a statement "to bring Howard to trial no matter
- how long it may take."

- <p> The House banking scandal has claimed another victim. Mickey
- Edwards, the fourth-ranking House Republican, went down in a
- five-way primary race in Oklahoma. Edwards, who bounced 386
- checks at the House bank, finished third with only 26% of the
- vote. In a concession speech, the eight-term Congressman blamed
- the anti-incumbency mood among voters for his loss. Said
- Edwards: "They saw some new faces out there, and they're not
- real happy with what's happening in Washington."
