The latter, which is already the world's largest private bank with $1.32 trillion in assets under management, had just 153 private bankers in Asia Pacific six years ago; earlier this year that number reached 600, most of them working in Hong Kong and Singapore.

The backstabbing and strange alliances might not be pretty, but they sure beat street fights, or storming Parliaments by tanks. For that reason, it can be argued, the compromise that brought the two Viktors together in power is actually the triumph, not the defeat, of the Orange Revolution...
...union with politics transforms the latter into something akin to a pampered whore: passionate at will, too certain of its own ends, unwilling to compromise and ultimately, too unreasonable...
