...cease-fire doesn't make Barak's life more difficult than it already is, since he's already out on a limb. Edging out further is unlikely to make him any more vulnerable. Right now he's safe in power because he's bought off [the ultra-Orthdox] Shas party for a month, and after that he faces the choice of either buying them off again, or else reviving negotiations with Likud to form a unity government. They agreement they're offering is not that hard for Barak to swallow, but of course once they're in they would have...

"Levi's has their little hidden fifth pocket, and nobody's making a big deal about that." Decorated with cartoonish flames, stars and devil's tails, Sha Shas are flashier than most Doc Martens and have a cushier sole. "Besides looking dope, the shoes are really comfortable," says Glenn Innes, 23, the editor of SuperPunk.com in Edmonton, Alta., who adds that he has never stored anything in the G-spot. "It's not the handiest location...
...Barak faced no immediate threat in Monday?s session, because the ultra-Orthodox Shas party has promised him its temporary support. But it was Shas's defection from his governing coalition last spring that had precipitated Barak's decline, and any respite offered by the religious party is likely to be temporary.
