Over the objections of Ben-Gurion-who still refuses to be associated with Eshkol "on personal and moral grounds"-a Rafi convention voted reluctantly to rejoin Mapai. The man behind the move was Dayan, whose one-eyed glamour and tooth-for-a-tooth toughness have made him the politician most likely to succeed at the polls-but without the support of Eshkol, who has always resented his dissident support...
