...TUESDAYS, 10 P.M. E.T. Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary, below) is trying to explain to his daughter what happened to the soul of his son, killed by a drunken driver last season.

After all, Olmert had actually campaigned on the promise of acting unilaterally to finalize Israel's borders, and he has made no secret that he sees Abbas as a lame duck. The Palestinian leader is not trusted by the democratically elected Hamas government, without whose consent no deal is credible, and he is pretty much ignored by as much as half of the rank-and-file of his own Fatah organization. Even at the height of his powers...
