...Orange forces, however triumphant, know that the unity they've worked so hard to restore is still fragile. Yushchenko had promised Tymoshenko the premiership on the expectation that she would win some 22% of the vote, and hoped to preserve most key Cabinet jobs for his own OUPD. But Tymoshenko's apparent success allows her to insist on appointing all the ministers herself. Yushchenko is known to be unwilling to accept that: he wants to have his own Foreign, Defense and Interior ministers...
...arises instead from an unexpected corner: that of the ever-ambitious Tymoshenko feeling that she would surely carry it in the runoff. Fighting for the presidency - and restoring the functions it was forced to cede to the Rada in 2005 - might prove more alluring to her than holding a premiership stripped of control over key positions and issues...
With Sharif safely re-exiled in Saudi Arabia, and a deal with Musharraf still percolating, Bhutto may think the way is cleared for a triumphant return to the premiership.

According to Air Chief Marshall Sir Jock Stirrup...
...worldwide attention, as well as jersey and ticket sales, would make an immediate impact on the Galaxy and the MLS' bottom-line. But currently, the trend is in the other direction: Even the best American players in the MLS eventually transfer to European leagues, particularly the English Premiership, along with most of the world's top soccer talent. It seemed unlikely that an established European star like Beckham would move to the U.S., but -whattheheck - they approached him. In their favor, they had the fact that Beckham's career was flagging: He was having difficulty cracking the starting lineup...
