This week

-Ins and outs of the political merry-go-round
The PM's private new party Kadima ("forwards") turns out to be a welcome refuge for frustrated old (and less old) Labor horses - Shimon Peres, Haim Ramon, Daliya Itzik. Meanwhile it is Peretz' old-new Labor which attracts spectacular new people such as economy professor Braverman, and the outspoken but very popular media personality Shelly Yechimovitch.
