...accelerating peace negotiations. However, this kernel of electoral wisdom may not have basis in actuality. If elected, Netanyahu will almost certainly make the concessions necessary for peace, albeit grudgingly. On the other hand, Barak is not the messiah of the peace process some might hope. As a decorated military hero, Barak will only make territorial concessions after painstaking deliberations. When you come right down to it, Barak and Netanyahu are not all that different.

Although not well known in the U.S. outside of hockey, he's a hero at home in the Czech Republic, where he sells his own Dominator line of sports clothing. Hasek is mentioned for President. And this isn't a country with Bill Clinton at the helm; they have Vaclav Havel...

Bassanio manages to rise from a state of dogged ineffectiveness for only a brief moment in his courtship with a stirring monologue condemning ostentation. The reversal of the hero roles in The Merchant of Venice, though effective and interesting, is at times taken a bit too far. When Bassanio throws himself at Portia's feet--kicking and yammering petulantly for her forgiveness--one senses that Edelman may have been too diligent in his revision...
