...watchful is sensible, but the lack of focus on cultural nuances and sensitivities is a big mistake. The truckers' parochial and prejudiced behavior?like calling Indian Sikhs "Islamics"?reflects this ignorance. Not every Muslim is fanatic, and not every turban-wearing guy is Osama bin Laden's distant cousin. Muslims from different countries embrace very different ideals.

...shot in the leg by a gunman last week; reformers took it as at least a warning from Arafat loyalists. In Gaza, Arafat's Fatah faction issued a stream of leaflets accusing his henchmen of corruption and violence. Most of the vitriol was aimed at Arafat's cousin Moussa, whom he named this month to head the National Security Forces.

Leary (also a co-writer and co--executive producer) stars as Tommy Gavin, an F.D.N.Y. veteran with a disturbing habit of talking to his cousin, fellow fire fighter and best friend Jimmy (James McCaffrey)--disturbing because Jimmy is dead, killed in the World Trade Center collapse. Jimmy left no remains behind but a finger--"My beer-opening finger," he complains during one imaginary visit with Tommy--and since then Tommy has been unable to go into a fire without taking a hit off a flask. (Tommy's alcoholism, curiously, did not dissuade Miller beer from a sponsorship deal that includes...
