...populous Arab town of Nablus. Sharon blithely dismissed opponents of Elon Moreh as a "fifth column" bent on sabotaging the dreams of Zionism. When Labor Party members protested that accusation, Sharon snapped: "While you're heckling me here, we lay another meter of pipeline, another kilometer of road, and build another house."

Haley parlayed his blue-eyed Irish good looks, comic flair ("Trouble is my best material") and talent for song and dance routines into a lucrative career that allowed him to all but retire after World War II as a millionaire real estate investor. Last appearance: in Norwood, a 1970 movie directed by his son Jack...
