Whether proclaiming his dream of Eretz Yisrael, whose biblical boundaries include the West Bank and Gaza Strip, or defending the controversial 1982 war in Lebanon, Begin hewed to a pugnaciously righteous course that evoked passionate reaction from supporter and foe alike, at home and abroad. Without disavowing Begin's policies, Shamir has tried to steer a course that appears more moderate, at least in tone.

Where Harvard's public reputation during the '50s as a foe of McCarthy produced a feeling of collective purpose, in the '60s groups within the University turned on each other.
