The Prime Minister herself has suffered a Nixonesque drop in the public opinion polls - from 65% support before the war to 21% today. Dayan, the hero of the 1967 war, is now constantly derided for the disastrous early setbacks of 1973. Indeed, one popular hero of the Yom Kippur War, Reserve Captain Motti Ashkenazi, 33, who commanded the only fortification on the Bar-Lev Line that did not fall to the Egyptians, last week...
