...Office of Economic Opportunity has so much faith in Farmer that it is planning to pay about 90% of the non profit center's initial expenses, starting with a grant of some $900,000. The center's ultimate goal is a multimillion-dollar program aimed at improving literacy and job skills among the chronically unemployed. Farmer's war on poverty - he calls it "my brainchild" - will concentrate on the most difficult hard core cases, men between their...

Chief strategist and fund raiser: silver-tongued Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir. Publicity director: equally eloquent Deputy Premier Abba Eban, former Ambassador to the United Nations. Eshkol himself campaigned as the candidate of unity and stability, asked only for "four years of quiet to work," and pleasantly referred to Ben-Gurion's shrill taunts as "our little rupture in Mapai." On election day, the Mapai mobilized 60,000 "volunteers...
