Gorby Has Other Irons in the Fire

By Janice Castro

The job offers and speaking requests are pouring in for MIKHAIL GORBACHEV. One of the more unlikely gigs was suggested by a Nevada impresario who wants to pay Gorbachev $1 million a year to play casino host and superflack. But House Speaker Tom Foley plans to make Gorby an offer -- and honor -- he probably can't refuse: an invitation to address a joint session of Congress. Foley's office expects to send out the all-expenses-paid bid in the next week or so.
