In one joke making the rounds in Moscow, a ? small ad appears in a local news- ( paper: "Will exchange Nobel ( Prize for Stalin Prize." < The joke, steeped like most j Soviet humor in irony and Slavic melancholy, captures the country's gloom as the sixth year of perestroika draws to a close. The last flickering image of President Mikhail S. Gorbachev as the "Soviet savior" may have died Jan. 13 along with defenders of the Lithuanian TV tower. In the past four years, even as the economy worsened, there was hope Gorbachev understood and would solve everything. That hope is gone. Pipe bombs found on Norfolk port tanks NORFOI k. Va?

You walk v into your favorite watering hole and order a mixed drink. The I waiter arrives with ice and soda i in a glass and then twists open the lid of a mini-bottle. The scene is repeated thousands of times a day in South Carolina but nowhere else in the' nation. j c Since recent changes in Utah ~ law, South Carolina is the only state requiring use of mini-bottles g for serving liquor in bars and restaurants. ^ t Before that time, the only way to drink at a public establishment c was to bring your own bottle.
