...Kiev has been teeming with mass rallies and counter-rallies for the last three days. In the mirror image of the Fall of 2004, the pro-Yanukovych tent city is rapidly being deployed around the Rada and Cabinet buildings. But instead of orange, the dominant colors are the blue and white of Yanukovych's Party of the Regions. Defenders of the Orange Revolution are being mustered up as well, but under a divided leadership. Russian TV stations are sinisterly prophesying "the coming massive bloodshed in Ukraine." Kremlin leaders have no love for Yushchenko and his erstwhile ally Yuliya Tymoshenko...
...considerable powers from the office of the President to the Rada and the Rada-nominated Prime Minister. After controversial parliamentary maneuvers and alliance building, Yanukovych became Prime Minister and immediately set out to encroach on the President's diminishing powers.

"The world is eager for this process," another member of Olmert's Cabinet told me. "But we have moved with the Palestinians from a resolvable political process to an unresolvable religious conflict," a reference to Hamas' refusal, on Islamic grounds, to acknowledge the possibility of a Jewish state. If the Prime Minister won't say it publicly, his Cabinet is saying it privately...
...voice. But with the patients, the same images caused less activation of the amygdala and more of several other areas including the hippocampus, which encodes and retrieves memories. "Instead of processing a particular face in the context of right now, the brain is basically going back into its filing cabinet and picking out previous experiences, which is not an efficient way for it to work," says Malhi, chair of psychological medicine at the University of Sydney. While patients' brains over-activated in response to fear, they under-activated for disgust. The researchers believe that what they've found in these...
