* Coup Fallout: It should have been a joyful day for Muscovite Elena Starova when she was tapped to be Lady Europe 1991, but the coup in her homeland chilled everything. The 23-year-old model-dancer won the beauty contest in Campione D’Italia, Italy, on Monday, the day the world found out that Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev had been ousted. “Gorbachev is a fair man but was unable to control ethnic problems and this caused major confusion in the country,” said Starova.

Miss Teen Georgia Meredith Young was first runner-up and Miss Teen Missouri Audra Sherman was second runner-up.
