Arab Tilt. Some key offices have gone to dependable veterans: Rabin's old comrade-in-arms Yigal Allon, 55, becomes Foreign Minister as well as continuing as Deputy Premier, while former Transport and Communications Minister Shimon Peres, 51, takes over Defense from Moshe Dayan. But Rabin has appointed others, including five newcomers, who may tilt Israel's new government toward more flexible dealings with Arab nations. Perhaps his most controversial Cabinet choice is Mrs. Shulamit Aloni, 45, head of the dovish Citizens Rights Movement, who advocates the return of most occupied Arab lands in exchange for a Middle...
...ERIC ALLON also shows the meticulous construction which characterizes the exhibit, but the rich glazes and occasional accidental effects save his work from academism. Some of his pots look like archaelogical finds, with rusts and blue-green tarnished colors conveying an appearance of age. He also flirts with technology, photographically silkscreening designs onto platters, and using emulsions directly on clay to produce a startling image of a building within a bowl.

The commission's apparent whitewash of Dayan stirred fresh and damning attacks on the Defense Minister from within the government, principally from a left-wing Labor faction led by Deputy Premier Yigal Allon. Allon's supporters and the far-left Mapam faction threatened to bring down the government by voting against it if Dayan was not removed. Dayan's own Rafi faction warned that if he was ousted, it would also vote against the government...
