(Los Angeles Times) Catharine M. Hamm - Travel journalist Peter Greenberg's "Israel: The Royal Tour" made its debut on Thursday. Greenberg's series gives an in-depth look at a country through the eyes of its head of state. The hour-long film gives a close-up view of Israel that's suffused with history and humor. The accent is on portraying a range of places, enhanced by the prime minister's willingness to pilot a boat in the Red Sea, feed dolphins, raft the Jordan River and ride a bike in Tel Aviv. There is an end-of-the-film shot of the journalist and the prime minister reading the newspaper as they bob in the Dead Sea.
