A minority, but an influential and articulate minority, increasingly wonders whether Mrs. Meir and her Cabinet are being intransigent, particularly on the issue of the territories won from Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Perhaps the most savage criticism came in the form of a satirical revue called Queen of the Bathtub, which included a skit in which Mrs. Meir muses to herself about how she is always right. The production...
