Chances are that Dayan, Sharon and Weizman will turn out to be less chauvinistic in their policies than expected. For one thing, observes Zeev Schiff, Ha 'aretz's military analyst, the fortunes of war have affected Israel's long mufti line. Following the spectacular victory of the Six-Day War, generals were national heroes, eagerly courted by political parties and the public alike.

He calls James Broughton's The Bed "stereotypical and crude" as well as using it and George Griffin's The Club as unsubstantiated examples of Heart Throbs' supposed sexism. Opinions differ.

There he is shuttled by chauffeured Cadillac from his Star office to Dolly Schiff's old suite at the Post to his twelve-room Fifth Avenue duplex, which is crowded with English antiques and modern Australian art. At a restored colonial farmhouse upstate, Rupert keeps trim by riding, skiing, swimming (40 laps in his pool) and thrashing around on a tennis court. He once challenged a group of his editors to play him, without their tennis shoes. "We have...
