...Strong partners are needed to forge a Middle East peace. But neither Abbas nor Olmert, acting Prime Minister and all but certain to continue in that role, fit the bill. As President of the Palestinian Authority, Abbas, a member of Fatah, has to contend with the radical Islamic government of Hamas, which won the Palestinian elections in January. And Olmert must rig up a coalition government with potentially troublesome partners to secure a majority in the Knesset. Until he does that, say advisers, he will not move into Sharon's office. But putting a coalition together is just a start...
...course, we had to do some research. Group members were each assigned one of the possible locations, which they investigated and reported back to the group at a specific meeting.

Nanny 911, Supernanny, The Biggest Loser, Celebrity Fit Club, Wife Swap, Cold Turkey--in all of them, someone comes in to impose "tough new rules" on participants who stand in for us in weak-willed lumpy America. Lose weight! Quit smoking! Be a better parent! Millions of Americans gladly, masochistically sit down to be lectured by their televisions about...
...part of a Kadima-led coalition, though most analysts believe Olmert will rebuff Bibi and choose Labor as his main coalition partner. In the meantime, Israelis may be clearing space on their bumpers for post-election stickers about Olmert, who is so certain of winning that, in a fit of hubris, he dispatched an envoy to London to pick up pointers on how Prime Minister Tony Blair runs his cabinet...
