...where does FNL go from here? The show has an advantage in that it has always been about much more than high school. It's about life in a struggling town where the recession is biting hard, kids grow up early and people rely on faith and football to get by. Also, much more than most high school dramas, it's about the adults - in particular Taylor and his wife Tami (Connie Britton), Dillon's principal...
...clashes on Oct. 25 came after Islamist groups called for Palestinians to "defend" the site after Israel had allowed Israelis to enter it the previous day. The confrontation may have had less to do with keeping Jews from praying at al-Aqsa, however, than with the erosion in Palestinian faith in President Mahmoud Abbas' path of negotiating peace with the Israelis and Americans.

...Kabul University, where election excitement ran high before the Aug. 20 vote, students shrugged off the next round, citing a lack of faith in the process. "We have a problem with these politicians," says Abdul Jabar, 23, a student of Dari literature. "There will be very low turnout because the people have no trust." Ali Farhan, 25, a law student, agrees, saying he won't vote. And Darab Raofi, 20, in the social sciences school, says the whole issue has become boring. "We are talking about the same thing happening again and again. I voted the last time...
