- Turning up late for a key diplomatic meeting is bad form.
- But when British Defense Secretary Tom King and his Russian
- counterpart, Marshal Yevgeny Shaposhnikov, finally popped into
- 10 Downing Street last month, their sheepish explanation took
- bosses John Major and Boris Yeltsin by surprise. Seems they'd
- been up till all hours sampling a precious case of 1939 Crimean
- champagne. Major exclaimed at the extravagance, but Yeltsin just
- seemed to feel left out. Said he: "Good God! I thought all of
- that vintage had been drunk by Khrushchev!"
