Largely because Dayan is something of a living legend in Israel, there has been no scandal over the book, and no comment by the government; Dayan himself has been silent. By and large, Israelis seem to share the tolerant attitude of former Premier David Ben-Gurion: he once pointed out to a husband whose wife had run off with Dayan that Lord Nelson (who was also blind in one eye) had an affair with Lady Hamilton that did not tarnish his heroic image "even in puritanical England." When Ruth Dayan complained directly to Ben-Gurion about her husband, he replied...
...scandal? Well, not really, although the Met is under heavy attack for the seemingly high-handed procedures of Director Thomas Moving in selling off various esteemed pictures without the consent of the curators involved (TIME Oct. 16). In this case, the reassessment is largely the result of the keen eye and energetic investigations of a young curator for European paintings, Everett Fahy, 31, whom Moving brought in three years ago. Many European paintings had to be moved to new galleries to make room for Henry Geldzahler's 1970 show of New York painting and sculpture, and the transfers gave...
...first burning issue of the new decade at Harvard was what a Crimson editorial referred to as "The Scrubwoman Scandal." In an act of monumental callousness, the University laid off two groups of scrubwomen in Widener Library, the first on December 1, the second on Dec. 21, 1929. A month later, the incident came to light in the Boston papers. The firing of the women, as the initial effects of the stock market crash were beginning to be felt, and just days before Christmas at that, would have been fodder for the Boston papers. The fact that they were given...
...singlehandedly, the paper took a sharper editorial stance. Through the Spring of 1915. The Crimson ardently opposed involvement in the First World War, a controversial but well articulated position which R.H. Stiles '16 reversed when he became President in the autumn of 1915. With the exception of "the crew scandal, in which the paper charged favoritism in the selection of the first boat, the War was the only pressing issue of the period. Enthusiasm for war combined with an ill-disguised distaste for Wilson's reelection in 1916 to produce a burgeoning campaign for entry into the conflict. The dark...
From the first scarehead, it was obvious that "the scrubwoman scandal", brought to light in the Boston press yesterday, was the result, somewhere, of inexcusable errors of judgement on the part of University officials. Despite the fact that the comptroller's office, with the intelligence of an ostrich hiding its head in the sand, refused to release to the public the truth of the case, the actual facts, uncovered in a way most likely to antagonize a not-too-friendly press, reveal Harvard's heart to be not wholly as black as it was originally painted...
