how the average American eats. Thus I have taken minis ters of defense to McDonald's, I have introduced a speaker of Verkhovna Rada to the concept of the "all-you-can-eat" buffet, and I have instructed Rada deputies in the technique of eating with chopsticks in a food court of a local mall. In the course of my official duties during the last eight years, I have been lucky enough to sample the most exotic culinary creations, black lobster ravioli with kona crab and white chocolate hazelnut raspberry parfait with glazed peaches, and the best wines and champagnes from the world over, from the incomparable white wines of the up and coming wine-producing American region — the state of Oregon, to the wonderfully sweet and fruity reds of the Massandra winery in Ukraine's Crimea. It is hoped that my memories of these unforgettable meals do not give readers the impression that they are the norm. More commonly, days on the road with official delegations consist of skipped meals, bad cold coffee, lunch grabbed on the run, a candy bar for dinner eaten on the way to a press conference, a meeting with businessmen or yet another boring military briefing. So it is especially welcome then an opportunity presents itself for us to actually dine together, for both countries to share with each other the best that each has to offer, for both sides of the banquet table to fulfill one of a diplomat's more pleasant duties -- "eating for one's country". NEWS FROM UNWLA HEADQUARTERS January 31, 1998. Detroit, Michigan. Annual meeting of the UNWLA Detroit Regional Council. Kwitka Iwanycky was reelected president.

Mrs. Clinton was accompa nied by her Chief of Staff, Melanne Verveer. May 31, 1998. New York, NY. The Ukrainian Institute of America celebrated its Golden Anniversary and the 100th anniversary of the landmark building at 2 East 79th Street. Greetings were presented by UNA president Ulana Diachuk, UCCA president Askold Lozynsky and others. The UNWLA was represented by President Anna Krawczuk whose remarks follow: On behalf of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America, Inc., I am honored to extend our best wishes to the Ukrainian Institute of America on their Golden Anniversary. When I think of the UIA, prestige and pride come immediately to mind. Prestige and pride with a capital "U" (that stands for Ukrainian) in front of it. How well I remember the activities of our former Branch 72 at this institution, where young and upcoming talented artists of Ukrainian descent had their first recitals and art exhibits, to the delight of their parents, relatives and Ukrainian Americans. These events not only gave the opportunity to express their talents, but they also kept Ukrainian culture alive at a time when Ukraine did not stand alone, but was part of the Soviet Union. It is more powerful now that Ukraine is a sovereign independent state, for the cultural and other exchanges reach deeply to the homeland of our forefathers. The Ukrainian Institute of America is also a Ukrainian gateway into the American mainstream of multiculturaliztion with a clearly defined Ukrainian identity fifty years ago. The legacy and foresight of William Dzus will be gratefully rememberedforever. Happy Anniversary! And many more years of successful endeavors.
