| In
the fall of 1993, I decided to quit my job as national editor at the
Moscow Tribune and return to the field full time. Shortly before I expected to leave for Georgia, a republic on the Black Sea to the south -- and a neighbor of Chechnya -- Russian President Boris Yeltsin had a little disagreement with Parliament. |

is the Russian parliament building, also known as the White House,
afterthe first few shells hit. Many of the politicans were barricaded
inside, refusing to leave. |
