No, Gorbachev tried to "tweak" a system that he still believed in. What happened through his actions - he did not expect (a dismantling of the Russian communist/socialist system). That was what was needed at the time. Only "real" change happens through complete destruction of the "old" & a rebirth of the "new" from "scratch". - Mekkar

Should we be alarmed?... more than 200 other studies have shown links between low doses of BPA and adverse health effects, according to the Breast Cancer Fund, which is trying to ban the chemical from food and beverage containers ...... “The vast majority of independent scientists — those not working for industry — are concerned about early-life low-dose exposures to BPA,” ......Published journal articles have found that BPA given to pregnant rats or mice can cause malformed genitals in their offspring, as well as reduced sperm count among males..... - Petr Buben from Bookmarklet

This year, the journal Environmental Health Perspectives found that pregnant mice exposed to BPA had babies with abnormalities in the cervix, uterus and vagina. .... Last year, Canada became the first country to conclude that BPA can be hazardous to humans, ... . “When you have 92 percent of the American population exposed to a chemical, this is not one where you want to be wrong,”.... - Petr Buben

While the evidence isn’t conclusive, it justifies precautions. In my family, we’re cutting down on the use of those plastic containers that contain BPA to store or microwave food, and I’m drinking water out of a metal bottle now. - Petr Buben

"Addressing Transatlantic relations, Merkel admitted that while America and Europe have had their share of disagreements, “I am deeply convinced that there is no better partner for Europe than America and no better partner for America than Europe.” She stressed that what united Europe and America is not simply shared history or shared interests, “but a common basis of shared values. It is a common idea of the individual and his inviolable dignity. It is a common understanding of freedom in responsibility.” Merkel added, “This basis of values was what ended the Cold War.”" - Petr Buben from Bookmarklet

"This basis of values was what ended the Cold War" - we need to get back to our values, abandon rendition torture, black prisons and become again a proud beacon of freedom and rights and protector not a bully - WarLord

There are fears in Washington and London that if no deal is reached to at least temporarily defuse tensions by the end of December, Israel could set in motion plans to take military action aimed at setting back the Iranian programme by force, with incalculable consequences for the Middle East.Descriptions of "two-point implosion" warheads designs have occasionally appeared in the public domain (there are extensive descriptions on Wikipedia) and they were first developed by US scientists in the 1950s, but it remains an offence for American officials or even non-governmental nuclear experts with security clearance to discuss them. - Petr Buben from Bookmarklet
