That kind of restraint is particularly important in one aspect of "Someone's Watching Over You": a spoken middle eight. If you're like me, you look forward to most of these sappy soliloquies just about as much as seeing the bottom line on your 1040 form (or getting another peek at "Grand Ole Opry" emcee "Whispering" Bill Anderson's overdone face-lift). But George carries it off with aplomb - adding just the right touch of disbelief to the dollops of sincerity...

...weeks. Such attacks, Eiland says, demand a live-fire reaction--but not, he insists, a free-fire one. Eiland tells TIME that the army is preparing to court-martial a soldier and an officer for firing live rounds when there was no clear threat to their life. But restraint has been a tough sell in Israel. Posters and banners read: LET THE ARMY WIN.

...This is an opportunity for Restraint. Explain why you fought, not why you should have won it. Why it's over now, why your supporters should call Bush their president, and why the country must call it an election and move on.

However, even before the court hears the appeal, it has damaged its reputation, perhaps irreparably, in two ways. First, it has decided to enter a political fray that did not require its action and which, by any understanding of judicial restraint, could have been left to the other electoral safeguards available. If, as Scalia hinted, the court decides this case in Bush's favor on a 5-4 vote, the reputation of the court as a rational, nonpartisan voice above the fray will have been destroyed. It is ironic that the five justices in favor of the stay are traditional...
