After the Six-Day War, Ben-Gurion, then in retirement, warned Israel that it should give back all the captured territories very quickly, ''for holding on to them would distort, and might ultimately destroy, the Jewish state.'' Prime Minister Levi Eshkol offered to return almost all the territories to the Arabs in exchange for recognition and a promise to negotiate peace. But opposition from Israeli hard-liners, including Menachem Begin, then a Cabinet minister, crippled Eshkol's proposals.

Both are receptive to questions, even...
Rosso credits his hardscrabble upbringing on the farm for his determination and pragmatism, including a meticulous attention to logistics widely admired by competitors. Plus he has a real flair for marketing. Today Diesel is still less than half the size of the Levi's brand (a separate high-end manufacturing division, Staff International, does an additional $114 million in sales), but it's fast growing, highly profitable and so far has managed the delicate balance Renzo evokes when he says his goal is to be the "coolest of the biggest...
