Re: Eternal Return
There's always the classic post-Soviet Yeltsin sitting with Clinton on international TV and Yeltsin calling Clinton his "son" or "boy" and tapping him on the knee like a kid who just made grandpa smile by learning his multiplication tables. Come to think of it, I don't remember Yeltsin ever using the word president and Clinton together when both men were in the same room. Local channels showed that side of the conference. The BBC and CNN had a much more tactfully edited piece with only a few quick quotes from Yeltsin (incorrectly translated) and Clinton.
I wonder which country would really be saving face by censoring Yeltsin's drunken endearments towards Clinton? The Russian interpreters laughed about that idea for days after each visit that pair made anywhere in the world. Anyone remember a drunken Yeltsin in only his underwear trying to catch a cab one night outside of the White House because he "wanted to find some pizza." I doubt the American's (or the Russians) heard about that little incident unless it was leaked by somebody who saw the secret service guys hauling/dragging Yeltsin back to the Blair House across the street from the White House where he was supposed to be staying - in the strictest sense of the word.
