Following a welcoming ceremony in Kiev, U.S. President Bill
Clinton and Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma retired for a
one-to-one summit in the Mariinsky presidential palace. Ukraine is learning the rudiments of a Western-style free market economy, including the value of free publicity. A new brand of Ukrainian vodka bearing Clinton's face on the label began appearing in Kiev's shops this week. The label shows Clinton wearing a traditional Ukrainian fur hat. American journalists covering the summit were the first to taste the new vodka.
