YELTSIN WATCH . . . NAP TIME
Having logged two weeks at a Moscow hospital after a bout of heart trouble,Russian President Boris Yeltsinis now ready for some serious rest. Today, the 64-year-old President left his suite for the sprawling Barvikha resort west of the capital, where he'll remain for an indefinite period under his doctors' supervision. The rest of the world, already suspicious after the Kremlin was caught releasing a 3-month-old photo of Yeltsin, has little else to go on. Russian television today simply showed Yeltsin receiving a bunch of flowers inside the Central Clinical Hospital, then his motorcade speeding away through the hospital gate.Yeltsin apparently has a form of heart diseasecalled unstable angina, in which arteries narrow and diminish the blood supply to the heart.
