...Season 4 begins, Taylor gets a new team and new problems. The Dillon school system has been redistricted, and he's been transferred to coach at the reopened East Dillon High, across town and a world away.

...Obama raised expectations after taking office by promising the region speedy movement toward settling the Middle East's most toxic conflict. So far, the Administration's efforts have produced precious little progress - and unfortunately for Obama, the Palestinians may no longer be waiting for Washington to do more to press the Israelis.
