EC - the contradictions and ironies are everywhere - particularly in regard to UN Resolutions re: Iraq and Israel. One has to abide by them 'or else' - the other gets away with murder - often literally. And so it goes. It's OK to try to overthrow Sadaam, but not the other tin pot dictators with whom we do business. E

Yeltsin To Remain in Hospital Sunday, 29 November 1998 M O S C O W (AP) PRESIDENT BORIS Yeltsin will remain in the hospital for at least several more days while he recuperates from a bout of pneumonia, his spokesman said Sunday. Dmitry Yakushkin, in an interview with Echo Moscow radio, said Yeltsin planned to hold a series of meetings at the Central Clinical Hospital, including a working session with Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov. "Everything is going according to plan and Yeltsin is undergoing scheduled treatment," Yakushkin said, according to the Interfax news agency. "Doctors are insisting that the president stay inside since pneumonia is more serious than ordinary respiratory infection," the spokesman said. "Moreover, a period of infectious diseases (in Moscow) is beginning." Yakushkin did not say when Yeltsin would be released from the hospital, but a Kremlin spokesman said it would be at least several days before he could return to his residence outside Moscow. "We don't know yet how long the president will stay in the hospital, it will all depend on his health," the duty officer at the Kremlin press office said. "He's planning working meetings during the week at the hospital, but it doesn't mean that he will stay at the hospital all week." Yeltsin, 67, has been hospitalized since last Sunday, and is undergoing treatment for pneumonia, the latest in a series of ailments that have raised concerns about his ability to serve out his term, which ends in 2000. Yeltsin has rarely appeared in public in recent months, and has said little about the country's economic crisis, the worst in the post-Soviet era. On Sunday, he signed a number of laws and decrees, including a tribute to artist Tair Salakhov on his 70th birthday, a law on the import and export of goods related to space exploration and a law on ratification of an agreement with Belarus on the delivery of Russian diamonds, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported. Yakushkin, in some of the frankest language ever used by the Kremlin about an incumbent leader, said on Friday that a history of repeated heart attacks was "taking its toll" on Yeltsin. It was the first time that a Yeltsin aide had even admitted openly that the president had suffered a heart attack. "In 1996, the president was working through several heart attacks while carrying out a very active election campaign," Yakushkin said. The past ailments, combined with the "emotional, physical and psychological pressure endured by the president are taking its toll," he said.
