The scare over Aliyev, 75, was a reminder that Boris Yeltsin is only one of many aging leaders in the volatile states of the former Soviet Union. Diplomats in Moscow are on round-the-clock watch for health and assassination threats against the lives of Yeltsin, Aliyev and his fellow septuagenarian, Georgian leader Eduard Shevardnadze.

The two men couldn’t keep from shouting at each other last week. Ahmed furiously blamed Sadr and his Mahdi Army militia for the shoot-outs that were erupting in Baghdad, Basra and other cities. “Who is Moqtada to make the situation good or bad when he wants to?” he demanded. “He only follows his emotions!” Abbas would have none of it.
