...Yushchenko is confident that public doubts about her will fade; "Time is the best doctor," he said in Davos. People "must feel that life is becoming steadier," Tymoshenko says. "Once they acquire new opportunities, all the fears and confrontations will collapse like a house of cards." Still, some Western businessmen are uneasy. "Yushchenko will be flying around the world and she'll be running things in Kiev - and running circles around him," says one U.S. exec who does a lot of business in Ukraine.

But plastic surgery has become positively democratic. Businessmen get nipped and tucked to win promotions; other people, just to look hot. And there are plenty of other ways that we augment nature, medically, technologically and financially. The elderly can extend their sex lives beyond what God and their grandchildren imagined.
