Olmert will be glad to see him go; according to an opinion poll last week, Peretz's approval rating hit bottom at 1%, a fallout over the military...
...look solemnly upon a manger full of hay. For something a little closer to home, check out Lawrence Street near Central Square. Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus are watched over by a jolly Santa Claus and Frosty the Snowman. Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, each donning a Santa cap, flank the display, and two menorahs in the windows round out a confusing mosaic of holiday...
