...allegedly sabotaged sound system. Whoever caused that problem, Sharon's people immediately began circulating among journalists in the Tel Aviv hall, casting the prime minister as the victim of a persecution by elements in the party that aren't restrained by democracy or law. They argued that "Arik is the underdog" and that Israelis always back an underdog. In the end, the Likud committee members were shocked by this final assault on the dignity of their party. They decided they weren't ready to be the first people in Israeli history to kick a serving prime minister from their...

Oft considered the finest of the Peppers' guitar players (or at least the best suited to the band's style), Frusciante brought an oblique, jazzy angle to funk in the same...
...more interesting question raised by Sharon's election is the future of domestic politics and the prospects for rebuilding Israeli national unity. William Safire, who brags that his pal Arik called him first after his victory speech, says Sharon's rise to power signals a "reinvigoration of Zionism." In today's "post-Zionist" world, can Sharon, a greying relic of a bygone era, really revive Israel's national spirit...
