    Let’s Not Waste a Great Opportunity

    With six weeks remaining until the U.S. Presidential Election, the race is locked in a virtual deadlock.  That fact, in and of itself, is pretty remarkable given that a woman is as likely to be the next president as a man.  I understand that readers in countries such as the UK and Germany will not find that […]

Yushchenko lost badly, with Yanukovych and Tymoshenko coming out on top, receiving 35 percent and 25 percent of the vote, respectively. A runoff election between the two was held on February 7 to determine Ukraine’s next president.
