<p> "Nowadays, if Rip Van Winkle were to fall asleep in the
Soviet Union, he would only have time for a very short nap
before finding that everything had changed!" It was Ronald
Reagan in a familiar mode, the storyteller. But he had an
unusual circle of listeners: the foreign affairs committee of
the Supreme Soviet. The former President made a five-day tour
of the Soviet Union last week, his first visit to the erstwhile
Evil Empire since his 1988 summit with Mikhail Gorbachev. He
got a warm greeting from Gorbachev at the Kremlin, where the two
embraced like old friends. He also squeezed in a quick meeting
with Boris Yeltsin, the president of the Russian federation,
who has become one of Gorbachev's radical rivals.
