The Palestinian Authority has a new cabinet:

RAMALLAH, West Bank, Feb. 24 – The Palestinian Parliament overwhelmingly approved a new cabinet composed mainly of professionals rather than politicians today, ending days of crisis and marking a break with the Yasir Arafat era.

All but 7 of the 24 cabinet members were newcomers, many of them specialists with doctorates in fields as diverse as education, electrical engineering and economics.

What, they aren’t all lawyers? Sounds like we could learn a thing or two from the PA.
