Lennart Meri (1929-2006). His reign as the second president of Estonia started in 1992 and ended in 2001. He started out as a writer and filmmaker. Through his political activeness he got the position of Foreign minister in 1990. In 1992 he became the president of Estonia. In 1996 he was re-elected and stayed on his position as the president until election in 2001. He died in 2006 because of brain tumor. "In his nine years as head of state, Meri both restored the presidency and built up the Republic of Estonia in the widest sense," president Rüütel had said. Arnold Rüütel (1928-).

council's own President and the President of the European Commission. The European Council was established as an informal body in 1975(1961); it became an official EU institution in 2009 when the Treaty of Lisbon entered into force. The European Council has no formal legislative power. It is charged under the Treaty of Lisbon with defining "the general political directions and priorities" of the Union. It is thus the Union's strategic body, acting as the collective presidency of the EU. The meetings of the European Council, commonly referred to as EU summits, are chaired by its president and take place at least twice every six months. The headquarters of the Council of the European Union is in Brussels. The current president of the European Council is Herman Van Rompuy. Council of the European Union It is part of the essentially bicameral EU legislature, representing the executives of EU member states, the other legislative body being the European Parliament

mandatory targets for reducing greenhouse emissions. Mr Bush, while talking yesterday about a "new approach" and "a historic undertaking", remains totally opposed. *"It was a total charade and has been exposed as a charade," the diplomat said. "I have never heard a more humiliating speech by a major leader. He [Mr Bush] was trying to present himself as a leader while showing no sign of leadership. It was a total failure." *In contrast with the early years of his presidency when he expressed scepticism about climate change and whether humans were responsible, Mr Bush acknowledged yesterday "energy security and climate change are two of the great challenges of our time. The United States takes these challenges seriously." He added: "Our guiding principle is clear: we must lead the world to produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and we must do it in a way that does not undermine economic growth or prevent nations from delivering greater prosperity."

Led by its President – currently Herman Van Rompuy – and comprising national heads of state or government and the President of the Commission, it meets for a few days at a time at least every 6 months. There are 3 main institutions involved in EU legislation: the European Parliament, which represents the EU’s citizens and is directly elected by them; the Council of the European Union, which represents the governments of the individual member countries. The Presidency of the Council is shared by the member states on a rotating basis. the European Commission, which represents the interests of the Union as a whole. Together, these three institutions produce through the "Ordinary Legislative Procedure" (ex "co-decision") the policies and laws that apply throughout the EU. In principle, the Commission proposes new laws, and the Parliament and Council adopt them. The Commission and the member countries then implement them, and the Commission ensures

issues to which she earlier devoted her time and professional skills. She provided leadership in a number of areas, including the Task Force on National Health Care, which was responsible for proposals and passing reform packages before Congress. Her White House agenda went beyond health care reform and included pushing for children's and women's issues. Hillary Clinton proved to be and active and vital figure in the White House throughout her husband's presidency. In August of 1995, Hillary Clinton was invited to deliver the keynote address at the United Nations International Conference on Women near Beijing, China. In November, 1996, Bill Clinton was reelected President of the United States. In that same year Hillary Clinton published her first book entitled ''It Takes a Village: and Other Lessons Children Teach Us''. The book became a best-seller. On September 20, 2000, Independent Counsel Robert Ray announced his final report reviewing the
Vikelas stepped down after the games had been held in his own country and then Coubertin became the president. Despite the initial success, the Olympic Movement faced hard times, as the 1900 (in De Coubertin's own Paris) and 1904 Games were both swallowed by international fairs, and received little attention. This changed for the better after the 1906 Summer Olympics, and the Olympic Games grew to become the most important sports event. De Coubertin stepped down from his IOC presidency after the 1924 Olympics in Paris, which proved much more successful than the first attempt in that city in 1900. He was succeeded as president by Belgian Henri de Baillet-Latour. After he had withdrawn himself from the IOC he devoted himself to pedagogical work. At the age of 69 he published his book "Olympic Memoirs" in which he said that he enterprise was more than just a sports competition. De Coubertin remained Honorary President of the IOC until he died in 1937 in
judicial. Each of these branches has some authority to act on its own, some authority to regulate the other two branches, and has some of its own authority, in turn, regulated by the other branches. The United States Cabinet (usually referred to as the President's Cabinet or simplified as the Cabinet) is composed of the most senior appointed officers of the executive branch of the federal government of the United States. The executive branch is the presidency. It consists of the President (Barack Obama) and delegates (Vice president). All executive power in the federal government is vested in the President of the United States, although power is often delegated to the Cabinet members and other officials. The President is the head of state and government, as well as the military commander-in-chief (only when called into actual military services), chief diplomat and chief of party. The legislative branch is the congress
administration, as well as his threats to invade Kuwait, which almost caused a war between Iraq and England. Former CIA Near East Division Chief James Chritchfield maintains that the CIA played no direct role in the 1963 coup, but that it viewed the Ba'ath Party favorably and offered support after they had taken over. In 1966 Salam Arif, the leader of the new Ba'athist government, died and his brother, Abdul Rahman Arif, not a Ba'athist, assumed the presidency. Some believe that Robert Anderson, former secretary of the treasury under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, secretly met with the Ba'ath Party and came to a negotiated agreement according to which both the oil field concessions and sulphur mined in the northern part of the country would go to United States companies if the Ba'ath again took over power. In 1968, General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr of the Ba'ath Party was installed as the new president. The US broke relations with Iraq in 1967
The first President of Russia was Boris Yeltsin, who started his term after the Soviet Union's fall. After Yeltsin, Vladimir Putin held the term for 8 years. Now Putin is the Prime Minister and Dmitri Medvedev is the President. When Putin's term as the President ended, he became the Prime Minister and now he has more power than the President. The Prime Minister is appointed by the President with the approval of the State Duma. The he is the first one to the presidency in case when the President dies or resigns ( " R u s s i a n p o l i t i c a l s ys t e m , " ) . Russia's legislature, called the Federal Assembly is a bicameral body, that consists of the Federation Counil and the State duma. The lower house in the Russian Federal Assembly is the State Duma. It is the more powerful house, so all bills are considered by them. The Duma doesn't have as much power to force the resignation of the Government. The President is

Communist rule following World War II. In 1956, a revolt and an announced withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact were met with a massive military intervention by Moscow. Under the leadership of Janos KADAR in 1968, Hungary began liberalizing its economy, introducing socalled "Goulash Communism." Hungary held its first multiparty elections in 1990 and initiated a free market economy. It joined NATO in 1999 and the EU five years later.

backed by the medieval institution of Parliament, that no uniformity or continuity of the new visual print culture could take complete hold. The result was that the most important event in English history has never taken place; namely, the English Revolution on the lines of the French Revolution. The American Revolution had no medieval legal institutions to discard or to root out, apart from monarchy. And many have held that the American Presidency has become very much more personal and monarchical than any European monarch ever could be. De Tocqueville's contrast between England and America is clearly based on the fact of typography and of print culture creating uniformity and continuity. England, he says, has rejected this principle and clung to the dynamic or oral common-law tradition. Hence the discontinuity and unpredictable quality of English culture. The grammar of print cannot help

In combination, the influences of reciprocity and perceptual contrast can pre- sent a fearsomely powerful force. Embodied in the rejection-then-retreat sequence, they are jointly capable of genuinely astonishing effects. It is my feeling that they provide the only really plausible explanation of one of the most baffling political actions of our time: the decision to break into the Watergate offices of the Demo- cratic National Committee that led to the ruin of Richard Nixon's presidency. One of the participants in that decision, Jeb Stuart Magruder, upon hearing that the Wa- tergate burglars had been caught, responded with appropriate bewilderment, "How could we have been so stupid?" Indeed, how? To understand how enormously ill-conceived an idea it was for the Nixon ad- ministration to undertake the break-in, let's review a few facts: • The idea was that of G. Gordon Liddy, who was in charge of intelligence-
" Almost 100,000 Russians were taken prisoner. An estimated 30,000 were dead or missing. The Russian 2nd Army had ceased to exist. One of the few battles of the entire war that was a decisive victory, Tannenberg—as the Germans named it—demonstrated that the Russian steamroller was not quite the invincible machine that had terrorized central Europe. It catapulted Hindenburg to a popularity that carried him, later in the war, to supreme command, and, in peace, to the presidency of his country. Pro-German groups in Russia began to agitate for a withdrawal from the war. Russian morale sank. Hoffmann, the architect of the victory, acknowledged its real cause. "We had an ally that I can only talk about after it is all over—we knew all the enemy's plans. The Russians sent out their wireless in clear." The case was clear-cut. Interception of unenciphered communications had awarded the Germans their triumph. Tannenberg, which gave Russia the
