Only nine months after the Orange Revolution that swept away a corrupt and cruel regime on a wave of people power, Ukraine's would-be reformers are running out of juice. Last week President Viktor Yushchenko fired his entire government, including former ally Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko, after mutual accusations of corruption by their teams. Prices are skyrocketing; foreign investors are gun-shy as severe shortages of gasoline, meat and sugar spread. The President's move was "absolutely illogical," said Tymoshenko in a televised speech, blaming the crises on Yushchenko's cronies. The Cabinet implosion was triggered by the dramatic...
...spring, ahead of a November general election - the electorate would have a better chance of knowing whether Sharon or Netanyahu had been right about terrorism and Gaza.

Leading the way are improvements in CT (for computed tomography) scanning, which uses highly specialized X-ray machines to take multiple, finely layered pictures of the heart and surrounding blood vessels. Sophisticated computer programs sort the data to generate amazingly detailed, three-dimensional images like the ones that alerted Fackelmann's doctors to his hidden heart problem. Advances in other...
...more to ideological allies like China, are hardly comforting as gas nears $3 per gallon. But neither is Chavez's embrace of nations like Iran, and nor is the fact that he's leading a politically potent (and, to the Bush Administration, potentially destabilizing) wave of angry neo-leftism in Latin America, from Argentina to Mexico...
