A10 Russia apparently plans to keep a smaller army than expected. A10 Russia took command of troops in Moldova amid clashes there. A12 FRENCH PREMIER QUITS Edith Cresson, named less than a year ago as the first woman to serve as Prime Minister of France, resigned. A shakeup had been expected following the recent election setbacks for the Socialist Party.

It was the worst violence between Israeli troops and Palestinians in 18 months.
