...Labor Party needs all the unity it can muster as it begins campaigning for the Dec. 31 Knesset (parliament) election. Israeli newspaper polls show Labor fast losing ground to the opposition Likud coalition, which is led by such hawks as Menachem Begin and Major General Ariel ("Arik") Sharon. Until the election returns are in, the Arabs will have no assurance that any compromises made by Israel's present government will be accepted by the next one-especially if Likud makes an impressive showing. Moreover, Israeli delegates will hardly dare take a stance in Geneva that could cost them votes...
Arik's Complaint. The opening salvo in this war was fired by Major General Ariel ("Arik") Sharon, 45, who was called out of retirement to lead the successful Israeli thrust across the Suez Canal that helped trap Egypt's Third Army. In interviews with reporters from the New York Times and Los Angeles Times that were filed from Rome to skirt the tough Israeli censors, Sharon charged that his superiors were not prepared for the war. The General amplified his accusations in yet another in- -terview with American University Professor Amos Perlmutter: "The Southern Command collapsed completely...
...Even before the cease-fire arrangements were completed last week, they were under fire in Israel.

Sharon was a leading opposition candidate for the Knesset before he was recalled to active duty; his parliamentary criticisms if he wins the election are certain to be continuous...

He knows his boy. Vic Bealer (Jon Voight) fights heavyweight, talks about going to the nationals and getting to the Olympics, even turning pro. He has the equipment to do it, too. Blond and tall and blue-eyed, Vic is the kind of guy people like to pin hopes on; he is the young man of vast promise in whom the confidence of others is so eagerly invested...
...attack on the government's readiness for war is expected to bring it dividends at the polls-although it is too early to estimate how many seats it will add to the 32 it now holds in the Knesset. A major asset of the coalition will be General Ariel ("Arik") Sharon, an anti-Labor politician who was called up when the war started and who served with distinction in fighting against the Egyptians. When he returns to civilian life, Sharon is expected to attack Dayan's lack of preparedness and will urge Israel to consolidate its hold...
