4) This week's summary
of under-reported news

Compiled by Bob Nixon

- One year after the Orange Revolution, Ukrainian President Viktor
Yushchenko's popularity in polls plummets after a corruption scandal and
backroom deals with former government officials, including immu-nity for
those who supported former Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich. 
- Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a possible 2008 GOP presidential
nominee, opposes same-sex marriage and stem-cell research, yet his
Mormon faith may cause problems for the party's conservative, Christian
evan-gelicals. 
- Mostly farmworkers on North Carolina Christmas tree fields are putting
their health at risk, handling some of the most toxic pesticides allowed
under U.S. Law.
