...Matter of Protocol: "Kissinger [during negotiations on withdrawal in the Golan Heights] told [Israeli Defense Minister Moshe] Dayan to make the map and threw it across the table at him. He kept shouting, 'Write on the map whatever you want. I no longer care!' There was complete silence. Dayan did not touch the map lying in the middle of the table; he only looked straight ahead with his one penetrating eye. Just then an American security man entered the room with Kissinger's glasses, which he had left behind at the hotel. He marched directly to Kissinger...
...Moshe Dayan: "Naturally he has his faults, and like his virtues they are not small ones." She is more lenient with Richard Nixon: "He did not break a single one of the promises to us."

Small wonder if Premier Yitzhak Rabin felt lonely in Jerusalem...
Since he took over the defense ministry from his friend Moshe Dayan less than a year ago, the Polish-born Peres has earned a reputation as a highly effective administrator who has helped rebuild the Israeli army's morale, which was shattered by the losses of the October war. He lives simply, sharing a modest book-filled apartment in Tel Aviv with his wife Sonia and two of their three children (the third is married). In his private hours, Peres, who studied at both Harvard and New York University, writes books about contemporary Israeli problems, as well as poetry...
