...then there's the sticky case of Russia's entrant this year. The winner in the national finals was Anastasia Prikhodko with her song "Mamo," sung in a combination of Ukrainian and Russian. Some of the lyrics were written by an Estonian, the music was written by a Georgian and the song is performed by Prikhodko, who is Ukrainian. This combination horrifies Russian patriots, as Russia has had major political conflicts with Georgia, Estonia and Ukraine in the last two years. Prikhodko's producer Konstantin Meladze insists, however, that her song should inspire friendship between the four countries...
Success in the race has minted heroes out of many ordinary Alaskans. Among the giants of the Iditarod are five-time champion Rick Swenson; families like the Redington, Seavey and Mackey clans, who have captured multiple championships and together have placed an entrant in every race since the event's inception; and four-time winners Susan Butcher and Martin Buser, who owns the record for the event's fastest recorded time (8 days, 22 hrs. and 46 mins).

The Obama administration should use its position as a fresh entrant to the bargaining table as an opportunity to fix the blunder the previous administration made in proposing the missile shield. By unilaterally withdrawing its weapons and appearing to back down from its previous stance, however, the U.S. risks losing its credibility as a strong player in international politics. Instead, the U.S. should...
...early entrant, Chindex was able to negotiate a 90% ownership interest in its Beijing hospital. In 2000, China officially permitted foreign companies to pursue hospital and clinic joint ventures but limited ownership to 70%. Sino-U.S. joint ventures share the marketplace with players such as Singapore-based Parkway Group Healthcare and Hong Kong--based Global HealthCare...
