...deadlocked over the intricacies of agreement. Syria began a propaganda campaign to explain to other Arab nations why it was willing to make an agreement with Israel. Israel pointedly ignored the fact that last week's unsuccessful Palestinian foray had been launched from Syria. Equally significant, Premier-designate Yitzhak Rabin at week's end put together a Knesset majority coalition and a Cabinet that present overall a much more conciliatory face than Israel has shown in a long, long time...

His wife Fortuna, seven months pregnant, tried to flee the intruders, but was machine-gunned. The only one in the family not killed or wounded was 16-month-old Yitzhak Cohen.

By a close (298-254) but generally amicable vote, the party's central committee chose Labor Minister Yitzhak Rabin, 52, over Information Minister Shimon Peres, 51, to become Israel's fifth Premier. Rabin will have six weeks at most to put together a coalition government to succeed the present caretaker Cabinet of Premier Golda Meir. If he fails-as some believe he will-new elections will likely be called...
