But there they are, twice a day, on Sci-Fi's new Crossing Over with John Edward, using the host, a regular-Joe medium, to greet, reminisce with and bust the chops of loved ones in the studio audience. Nor do the dead walk only on basic cable. On series as disparate as Providence, Ally McBeal, Soul Food and The X-Files, apparitions of departed loved ones offer advice and solace.

This is a nation desperate for change, starving for leadership. And Khatami's difficult task is to rework Iran's system from within. It's an excruciatingly difficult way to be a reformer, fighting battles by not fighting battles. The pressures are exacting a toll. Chest pains sent him to the hospital recently.
