A war for information sources is approaching Richard Muller

Dr. Muller, your book Technology for Presidents, which is about global warming and ways to solve this problem, was published two years ago in the US. Before it came out, you published excerpts in various journals. Can you briefly summarize the contents of your book? Solving this problem depends on whether global warming is a problem created by mankind. I should point out that international organizations still have no official confirmation of this phenomenon. If it is true that we are responsible for changing the climate of the earth, all of our future efforts will be insignificant. There will be no way of avoiding a catastrophe

Last week a despicable incident, taken straight from the finer pages of the history of the Soviet era, took place in Kharkiv. A group of so-called communists smashed the plaque commemorating Josyf Cardinal Slipyj, which was hung on a building at 5 Malynovsky Street. Slipyj was the patriarch of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church whose faithful were persecuted and outlawed in the Soviet era.

Thought-provoking books

All the themes of this book are united by one important feature: they are focused on civic attitudes, which help create a virtual university, a community of people who are managing to find a common language on topics worthy of their attention. What is also striking is the spirit of Ukrainophilism that runs throughout the material; these kinds of publications are a rarity. This book gives readers a feel for certain universities, which can whet their appetites for something greater. But the book is much more profound because it shows the intellectual level of Ukrainian universities.

Doctors are convinced that it is possible to cure early-stage cancers. But they need state-of-the-art medical equipment, which is Ukraines number-one problem. Rinat Akhmetovs charitable foundation Development of Ukraine has just launched a new project whose slogan is Cancer is curable through timely diagnostics and treatment. Two positron-emission CAT scanners and a cyber knife for the non- surgical excision of cancerous tumors will be bought with part of the foundations grant money totaling 40 million dollars.

France took over the European Unions presidency from Slovenia on July 1, 2008. For the next six months this country will be playing its own diplomatic cards in the EU game. France has now proposed a rather ambitious action plan that can be boiled down to the following four priorities: immigration, joint security, power engineering and environmental protection, and a review of joint agricultural policies.

Bitter truth: the Ukrainian viewpoint

It is very interesting to observe what is going on in the heads of our contemporaries during the transition from communism to something that has no name. In any case, it is not capitalism because Europe built a capitalism-based social state long ago, and we have opted for Europe. The Holodomor problem is a kind of test that demonstrates the quality of historical memory and the extent to which our neighbors have reconsidered the history of the Stalin-era USSR.
