Laxalt is moving swiftly to solve a more immediate problem: how his role would coexist or clash with that of the G.O.P. leadership in Congress.

Israeli squatters have taken over one building and are threatening to move into others. But the two communities-4,000 Jews and 50,000 Arabs-seem unable to coexist in peace. TIME Jerusalem Bureau Chief Dean Fischer and Correspondent David Halevy recently visited Hebron. Their report...
