...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.

That's true diversity. Terrence D. Samuel Jr. Gates, Oregon...
...Bush's cabinet looks like a rainbow and appears to be beyond reproach. But that's the trick.
