...former Ambassador to Washington, Rabin was selected by a Labor Party Central Committee as Premier-designate after Golda Meir announced her resignation last April 11. Although widely respected by Israeli voters, Rabin has antagonized some members of the Labor establishment by excluding members of the dominant Mapai faction of the Labor Party from important Cabinet posts...
...maneuvering that preceded the vote, Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir, the party kingmaker, insisted that he wanted as Premier no ex-general and nobody outside his own Mapai faction of the party.

The demands dealing with university expansion, for example, came almost exclusively from the Progressive Labor faction of SDS--one indication of the deep divisions within even the minority of students who could properly be labeled militant. Our emphasis on specific issues may obscure more important sources of conflict; the strikers' opposition to the administration may have had much more general roots than any appearing in their demands. But even if this...
