Specifically, as a starter, Rabin suggested the return of the West Bank city of Jericho to Jordan in return for a nonbelligerency pact. He was promptly challenged by religious Jews who marched 5,000 strong into biblical Judea and Samaria for a sitdown strike. The Israeli army managed to hold back all but about 300.

But the responsibilities of the administrative head of what remained of "Radcliffe" had been so undercut that the retention of the title, "president of Radcliffe," represented a last meager attempt to maintain Radcliffe's identity as a women's institution distinct from the university that now controlled...
