During a meeting with the Russian parliament’s leadership, Putin took aim at the Western response to the war that started with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which included tough sanctions that his country has had to face. “They should have realized that they have already lost from the very beginning of our special military operation,” Putin said on July 7, using the official Russian term for the war in Ukraine. “Its beginning also means the beginning of a radical breakdown of the American world order....

“The operation is developing successfully, in strict accordance with pre-approved plans,” Putin said in translated remarks during a videoconference on Wednesday. “As for the tactics of military operations, which was developed by the Russian Ministry of Defense and our General Staff, it has fully justified itself. And our men - soldiers and officers - show courage and heroism, do everything in their power to avoid losses among the civilian population of Ukrainian cities....

Meanwhile, Russian diplomats have voiced fears about Ukrainian military growth near a separatist conflict zone, which some countries allege has been aided by Russia, in eastern Ukraine, the AP reported.

Daley’s administration has also been feeling the heat from U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald’s investigation into city’s allegedly fraudulent hiring system. Though Daley is not under investigation and has denied any wrongdoing, his former patronage chief and three former city officials were convicted this past summer. And the mayor and city council haven’t always seen eye to eye. Daley recently vetoed the council’s ordinance that would have required retailers with at least $1 billion a year in sales and with stores of at least 90,000 square feet to pay their employees at least $13 in wages and benefits by 2010....

NEWSWEEK: For starters how should people go about hiring help? Marion Somers: When I interview and hire an aide, I ask a lot of questions and do some deep probing. When you hire an aide, they have a key to the house, and they bring that home with them. I ask for three references and I really check up on those three references.

Of the sum collected from the firms, about $387.5 million will go to repaying investors who file claims with the government (though lawyers are likely to seek many times that amount in court)....

NEWSWEEK: Retailers say holiday sales were much worse than expected this season. Why do you think people spent less than expected this year? Thomas Hine: Buying things is almost always a mark of confidence. There’s a belief that if you’re spending money–especially if you’re charging it, so it’s money you don’t have–you have to believe you are going to have that money soon. After 9-11, which seemed devastating, there was actually a little upswing in optimism and we ended up having a decent Christmas....
