Exclamation Yushchenko Is Sworn in As Ukraine President

KIEV, Ukraine - Viktor Yushchenko was sworn in as president of Ukraine on Sunday, two months after huge protests over his loss in a fraud-plagued election plunged the ex-Soviet republic into political crisis.

Yushchenko, a Western-oriented reformer, took the oath in the Verkhovna Rada parliament, placing his hand on a copy of the constitution and an old Bible.

Afterward, some deputies repeatedly shouted "Yu-shchen-ko, Yu-shchen-ko," an echo of the chanting that filled Kiev during the showdown with his Kremlin-backed rival.
