...creating a management team for his new vision, Ford deliberately chose executives who have either come from other companies or spent time at divisions overseas, where they developed fresh perspectives. Fields, a baby-faced former sales and marketing guy with a smooth, confident touch, returned to Detroit in September after 10 years overseas, where he turned around Mazda in a difficult Japanese environment and then took on troubles at Ford in Europe, which is now profitable. "[Ford] has given me and my management team [the leeway] to turn the ship around," says Fields. "But he expects us to deliver...
...Kadima has filled a vacuum," said Dan Meridor, a prominent former member of the conservative Likud Party who is now drifting toward the new party. "We had two beautiful visions of the future--one from the left and one from the right--and both collapsed." The left-wing Labor Party's vision, of negotiating a two-state settlement with the Palestinians, was rendered irrelevant by the failure of successive 1990s peace negotiations.

...significant and welcome evolution in his philosophy. The decision was an act of political courage, made in the face of intense pressure both from the thousands of Israeli settlers being uprooted from Gaza and from his own right-wing Likud bloc. To give him greater freedom to promote his vision of peace, Sharon recently announced that he was leaving Likud, the political party he helped found 30 years ago, to form a new, more centrist party, called Kadima. As Sharon clings to life, his lasting legacy may well be his Kadima party, which still appears to be the favorite...
