As a more modern example, anyone who bought the market at any time between the 1962 low and the 1974 low would have lost money.

Frederick LenzA real dictator usually isn't interested in money or women, just pure power. But Putin - I don't know about women, but it looks like he definitely likes money quite a bit. He's painted himself into a corner; he has committed so many sins and crimes, he has no choice but to hold on to power.

It could be done by someone who, at this moment, is professing boundless love for Putin.

She had just gotten to the point where she could hold up her head, so he had strapped her in face-out so she could look around.
