...Angry Feud. Holt's biggest single achievement, however, was holding together the tenuous government coalition organized 23 years ago between his own Liberal Party, which controls 81 of Parliament's 184 seats, and the Country Party, which holds 28 seats. Lacking Menzies' charisma, Holt often had to resort to face-losing compromises that made him look weak. Still, that was better, he felt, than the Menzies-style one-man rule. Holt believed in a "leadership that can lead but at the same time be close enough to the team to be part...
...held Jan. 9. On the other side is the Liberal Party's William McMahon, Holt's Treasurer, the party's second-in-command and Holt's heir apparent. Over the years, small policy disagreements between the two have sharpened into such an angry personal feud that McEwen last week threat ened to pull his party out of the coalition if the Liberals pick McMahon as their leader. To underline his point, McEwen refused to invite any of the government's nine Liberal Cabinet ministers to his swearing...
...even more dangerous than the old. The battles are no longer being fought just in the cities, but throughout the countryside as well. Nor is the fighting any longer confined to the ideological rivalry between pro-Mao and anti-Mao forces. It has degenerated into a sort of blood feud, curdled by the atrocities committed by each side against the other, motivated by revenge and the determination to seize-or retain-power for its own sake.

Finally, there is the Rafi party of former Premier David Ben-Gurion and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, which broke away from the Mapai two years ago after a feud with Eshkol. Even in Israel, such an improbable segmentation could not continue forever. Ever since the June war, all four parties have felt obliged to support Eshkol, a fact that was bound to make Israelis wonder whether all four were really necessary. Last month, Allon led his Achdut Ha 'avodah into...
...That feud centered on the FTC's decision to smoke nonfilters down to a finger-burning 23 mm. (about ½ of an inch); the filters were puffed to a bare ⅛ of an inch before the filter wrapping. The industry protested that the average smoker tosses the butt away at 30 mm. (about 1½ in.). The FTC itself was divided 3 to 2 on whether to make the butt 23 mm. or 30 mm., which would generally lower the levels but make for more uniform testing because most filter and non-filter types could then be smoke-tested...
