MOSCOW MAYOR YURY LUZHKOV 
IN MORE HALCYON DAYS 

With parts of Russia burning and the capital hot and hazardous, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on August 10th summoned long-time Moscow mayor Yury Luzkhov to make an accounting.  (An anonymous Kremlin source let it be known that the mayor should have returned from his vacation earlier.)  Putin also made time in his Tuesday schedule to pour water on forest fires in Ryazan and balm on discontented citizens (in another airborne photo-op).
