THE raw film footage from Leninski Prospekt on the 9 P.M. television news was the first that most Russians knew of the violent clashes that day between Communist demonstrators and police in Moscow. After a brief introduction, the anchorwoman said grimly: "We think these scenes speak for themselves." There followed no commentary, just the noises and shouts picked up by the soundman as the camera followed the mini-riot: the fights, the beatings, the trucks on fire, the arrival of the mounted police. The film clip opened with a charge by young men wielding rods and clubs against the police. It closed with a chilling image of Leninski Prospekt, one of the broadest and cleanest of Moscow's six-lane avenues, littered with rocks, thick with smoke, scattered with people running about in anger and panic.

Weary, it seems, of the Balkans and stirred perhaps by a beautiful spring, the French have turned in droves to an old subject at which they are old hands: love. The focus of their attention is a new book about men and women, suitably titled "Les Hommes et les Femmes." Written by a journalist and former Government minister named Francoise Giroud and the philosopher-turned-playwright Bernard Henri-Levy, this meandering discourse on sex, jealousy, feminism, fidelity and marriage has become what the French call a "phenomenon" -- that is, something whose success defies even their unusual powers of Cartesian analysis.

The Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, a maker of business jets, said yesterday that it would cut as many as 500 jobs because plane sales had slowed to a trickle.

Delta Air Lines said in a filing this week with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the Boeing Company had agreed to return $104 million in aircraft deposits and to allow Delta Air to defer future deposits that the airline would normally have to place on other firm orders. The concessions were part of an earlier agreement, which the companies announced in February but never said included the $104 million refund. Delta used the refund to reduce net short-term borrowings, which stood at zero as of April 30, according to the S.E.C. filing. Boeing is "obviously helping Delta get out of its cash-flow problems," said Paul Nisbet, an aerospace analyst at JSA Research.
