Ironically, the Budyonnovsk debacle could yet lead to peace in Chechnya; it might even produce a personal triumph for Yeltsin’s prime minister, Viktor Chernomyrdin, who negotiated an end to the hostage crisis and got peace talks started. By late last week, a ceasefire was shakily in effect throughout the breakaway republic of Chechnya, and the negotiations had made some progress. The Russians, chastened by their failure in Budyonnovsk, appeared ready to negotiate a settlement; the Chechens, Beaten on the battlefield but redeemed by their daring raid, seemed willing to settle for something less than full independence....

There you have it folks, the Kinect will gain some more mature content but it’s going to take a little while longer. I honestly don’t know what kind of “hardcore” games you can make with the Kinect, because the device doesn’t allow you to control your character with the same precision of a controller. Even Sony has addressed that problem with the Move by giving the the controller its own separate joystick....

The Yellow Army, on a tricky track, navigated their way to 131 after 20 overs, thereby offering the Mumbai-based outfit an opportunity to catapult themselves into the final.

After 20 years of being one of the best character actors in America, on stage, screen and tube, Nathan Lane is finally a star. Until now he’s been best known for his flamboyant gay roles in plays by Terrence McNally, “The Lisbon Traviata,” in which he was brilliantly hysterical as Mendy, the Maria Callas fanatic, and “Love! Valour! Compassion!” in which he was wrenching as the HIV-positive Buzz. In 1992 he was a Tony-nominated Nathan Detroit in Jerry Zaks’s rousing revival of “Guys and Dolls....

Naomi Osaka won the final 6-2, 6-4 to become Japan’s first ever Grand Slam singles champion and delay Williams’s bid for a record-equalling 24th major title. However, the final was overshadowed by the American’s angry and tear-filled tirade in the second set. It has already been dubbed ‘The Mother of all Meltdowns’ by the New York Daily Post. The 36-year-old was handed a code violation for coaching, a penalty point for racquet abuse and a game penalty for calling umpire Carlos Ramos a “liar and a thief” and insisting “you owe me an apology”....

Assuming he really is done, that is. And that assumes that he’s not up for, say, trying a 76-yard field goal, which he did try 10 years ago.
