...gripe that Rosolio is "too intellectual," he is convinced that police must generate new ideas about crime prevention and has hired lawyers, psychologists and military men. Even his critics concede that he has created "a more dynamic" police force. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin tells advisers that Rosolio is a "success story...
That praise stems partly from his success at nabbing-and deterring -Arab terrorists. The police took over internal security in 1974, when the government decided that it needed more specialization in anti-terror tactics.

His two films, Mahogany and Lady Sings the Blues, were about blacks, but not about high-pitched racial antagonisms. They were glamorous, glossily turned out and entertaining rather than threatening. Their success has helped to broaden Williams' popularity with white audiences...
