...reshaped the political landscape by ditching his right-wing Likud Party--which he helped found in 1973--and forming a new centrist bloc called Kadima (Hebrew for forward). Sharon, who will lead the party into elections in March, said he wants to focus on the Israeli-Palestinian road map for peace, not on "wasting time in political struggles," a swipe at the Likud hawks who have undermined him. His top adviser, Reuven Adler, blamed them, not the Palestinians, for failure to advance the peace process. "The rebels made his work very hard," Adler told TIME. "The setbacks occurred because...
...Unpresidential Outburst The verbal attack by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran, in which he declared, "Israel must be wiped off the map" [Nov. 7], was unworthy of a man in his position of leadership and invited much international criticism.

...that the media has chosen to ignore the plight of the cities who bore the brunt of Hurricane Katrina, and focus our nation's attention only on New Orleans. At Katrina's true "ground zero" are three small cities that have been nearly wiped off the map by this storm-Waveland, Bay St. Louis, and Pass Christian, Miss. How unfortunate that although the overall devastation here far exceeds that of New Orleans, media coverage of these small towns with low crime rates and peaceful communities is not considered newsworthy-or "sensational" enough-for the media to discuss...
