As former members of Congress and former members of the European Parliament who have spent considerable time in Ukraine as official observers of the election process, we write with concern and alarm in response to the article "Ukraine vote panned, praised," (World, Nov. 2).
We commend The Washington Times for covering, what we believe, to be the most important, after the United States, election in 2004. However, we disagree with a report of another delegation - which was not affiliated with our group of former members - that states that the election met international standards for fairness and transparency.

The sneaker maker on Thursday said it has created a limited- edition shoe based on a glowing pair that appeared in the popular 1989 movie "Back to the Future II." The 2011 Nike Mag is designed to be an exact replica of the fictional sneaker, including a glowing Nike name on the strap. But unlike the movie version, these shoes won't lace themselves. Nike will release 1,500 pairs of the 2011 Nike Mag sneaker for auction on eBay and donate all proceeds to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's disease research. Fox famously played Marty McFly in the "Back to the Future" time-travel trilogy, where he wore the shoes during a visit to the year 2015. Limited-edition shoes can draw as much, if not more mania, as a new movie or comic book release. Fans obsessively track the latest news an...

It's been a busy summer for those who write the laws that govern the activities of financial service regulators around the world, and attention is rapidly shifting from legislation to implementation. In the US, the legislative phase ended with the July passage of the 2,300-page Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. In the European Union, the process is a bit messier, due largely to the 27-nation block's diffuse structure. Reforms are being implemented in and among individual member states, and also in and among various parts of the pan-European governing apparatus. On a broader level, the European Securities Markets Authority has been granted new pan-European powers as of next year, and is now advising the European Commission on its proposed overhaul of the already-...
