Mourners pay tribute to Yeltsin MOSCOW (AP) _ Hundreds of mourners _ some weeping, many clutching flowers _ filed past the open casket of former President Boris Yeltsin in a soaring cathedral Tuesday, paying tribute to a man who brought epochal changes to Russia but left behind a tarnished legacy. The United States announced it would send former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton to Wednesday's funeral for the first president of post-Soviet Russia. Yeltsin died Monday of heart failure at age 76.
