...rule, which they blame for most of Poland's ongoing economic and political problems. Relations with Russia have deteriorated under their governance: a European Union effort to sign a new deal with Russia on energy investment collapsed on November 24 partly because of Polish objections. (Poland wanted Russia to lift a ban on the import of Polish meats and other produce, which Poles say Russia imposed in retaliation for Polish support of the so-called Orange Revolution in neighboring Ukraine). The brothers have maintained Poland's historical support for the U.S., commanding a sector of Iraq and agreeing this month...
...carmakers? He could keep his hands full with Renault alone. Like other European carmakers, Renault is grappling with high labor costs, slim profit margins and surging competition on its home turf from Toyota. Yet Ghosn, characteristically, has set ambitious goals for Renault, aiming to add new models, lift profit margins to 6% in 2009, from 2.5% today, and sell an additional 800,000 cars a year.

Indian cities should implement the Kitakyushu model, as Dalian in China has done, with a commitment to a cleaner future. Let us give a face-lift to the River Ganges like the one Dokai Bay had. Tougher government regulations will leave the work half done. Environment-friendly policies and improved environmental technology surely can take a green leap forward. Progress and development should not come at the cost of the environment. After all, "green growth" should...
...game—one truncated by a UCLA defender’s timely slide tackle before Fucito could fire off a shot. Altchek also had a chance in the 85th minute, when he corralled an Akpan pass at the right corner of the 18 and tried to lift the ball over Bruins’ goalkeeper Eric Reed. Reed, like the rest of the UCLA defense, reacted immediately and smothered the ball.“We played well all year, and tonight we couldn’t get the ball in the back of the net,” Altchek said...
