...wolf, Dayan is not one either to seek or accept advice, and is considered unpredictable and undisciplined by the staunch conservatives of the Labor Party machine. A pragmatist who operates largely on intuition, Dayan as Premier would make his own decisions as head of a Cabinet of technocrats. By contrast, Allon would likely lead a Cabinet of political leaders.

Of course the love is not the normal give-and-take love of the mental-hygiene textbooks. Instead of turning the play--which Marcus subtitled a comedy--into one of your modern tedious exposes of shallowness and love-hunger, Aldrich has created a flawed but solid delight...
