		C. Rob,



	Wall Street, I think, is loathe to crack the Golden Egg of
investor confidence.  If stock punters so much as looked out the window
they would panic.  Fortunately, all they see when they briefly open their
eyes is the sand their heads are in.


	By the way, has anyone actually seen Yeltsin alive and upright
lately?  This business of his not wanting to interrupt his vacation is
something I remember from the old Soviet days.  From what I've read there
is talk in Russia that Yeltsin is incoherent.  I think the guy may have
had a stroke on top of the heart attack.  Who knows, while he sits
comatose in the dacha, his crew may be busy setting up Swiss accounts and
safe passage out. Something about the Russian situation makes me want to
be in a mountain cabin with a large, lead-lined basement.



	peace
