...Just how much arms and equipment has Russia sent the blitzkrieged Arabs since Israel's June victory? Israel Premier Levi Eshkol raised the question himself last week-and gave his own answer. Russia, he claimed, has replaced 80% of the heavy weapons-warplanes, tanks and artillery-lost by Egypt during the fighting and has almost completely restocked Syria's prewar arsenal. "This influx of weapons has again upset the balance of power in the Middle East," said Eshkol. "It has made our position more precarious-and made it all the more important that the Western powers permit...
Rash of Terrorism. Ever since Israel's swift conquests, Premier Levi Eshkol has been under heavy pressure to permit Jews to move into and settle choice farm areas in the occupied Arab territories. He has been asked to allow 150 separate sites to be so settled, and last week he finally gave in-on one. He allowed a dozen paramilitary farm youths to reoccupy Etzion on the West Bank, sacred to Israelis as the site where four kibbutzim were wiped out in 1948 in a gallant stand that helped save Jerusalem from the Arab Legion.

He grew up in the school's Hyde Park neighborhood, attended its laboratory schools from kindergarten through high school, went on to earn his law degree there. His entire academic career has been spent at the university as professor, law dean and provost...
...Levi has thus been intimately involved in Chicago's traumatic leadership shifts: the academic brilliance and financial decline under Robert Hutchins, whom Levi admired; the civic-minded fight to rebuild crime-ridden slums surrounding the university under Lawrence Kimpton; the drive to regain academic stature and financial stability under Beadle. Levi last week left no doubt about what he will emphasize. Said he: "To be a great and exciting university requires, above all, a great faculty...
