Since she recently told a meeting of Labor Party chiefs that politicians should retire at that age, she is not expected to stand for reelection. At present, the warmest rivalry for her post is between Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir, who counts on Bar-Lev as a Cabinet counterweight to Dayan. Bar-Lev is being talked about as a possible candidate for the Defense job-and even, in a decade or so, for the premiership...
Marion, Marcus's older sister, is the inevitable object of Leo's yearnings. At once the warmest of the Maudsleys, she also hides more mysterious secrets.

...appropriately positioned filters. Whenever there is a sufficient change in heat intensity, a different color filter pops in front of the thermograph's internal light bulb. The resulting flickerings are then recorded on color film, with each hue representing a different temperature range. Colors are arbitrarily selected. Warmest areas are represented by shades of red and orange. Medium temperatures come out in yellow and green, while the coldest spots are violet, blue and black. The advantage of a color thermogram over black and white is that most people can distinguish vivid colors more easily than shades of gray...
