The brave are adding a slick of red lipstick, plenty of hair grease (Linda Evangelista sported a veritable DA at the recent Helmut Lang show) and spindly high heels. Preliminary results from Sunday's poll reflect a deep polarisation of Ukrainian politics, with nationalist strongholds backing Mr Kravchuk by large margins, sometimes of over 80 per cent, and pro-Moscow enclaves such as Crimea giving the same level of support to his rival, Leonid Kuchma. Mr Kravchuk, chief of Communist Party ideology until Ukraine left the Soviet Union at the end of 1991, has presided over two and a half years of disastrous economic decline accelerated by policy dithering.

Ross was among a rash of new head coaches taking over the reins in 1992 but given the famed impatience of his boss, the Chargers owner Alex Spanos, probably had less time to prove himself than any of his colleagues After that start Ross may have been reaching for his cv. But it is not with Alex Ferguson and Manchester United that Raymond Blanc compares the Manoir team.

ECLIPSED he may be by a certain Anglo-Canadian, but Frank Bruno's large form continues to cast a gloomy shadow over some of the little men of the sport: particularly Duke McKenzie.

The shares look excellent value on those projections.There is also solid physical expansion in the business which has produced impressive growth over the years. 'Again and again, we encounter the myth that children are too young or that they forget.'Harris Hendriks recently saw an 18-month-old child who had been asleep in a house where its mother was murdered, and who showed all the physical reflexes of a six- month-old She put the regression down to trauma. He agreed that the Lords walked a tightrope on constitutional issues, but said there were two sides on which one could fall.'We may show too little respect, but if we show too much we do not justify our existence,' Lord Russell said.

Scottish & Newcastle will report flat interim profits as the European recession hits its Center Parcs leisure division and the beer price war erodes margins at home.
