Brown Study. At 45, Franz Josef Strauss is a brawny, brawling bull of a Bavarian who symbolizes the unsettling vitality of the new Germany.

Newspapers have managed to hint that Lavon's relations with young Army Chief Moshe Dayan and Shimon Peres, the whip-smart young director-general of the Defense Ministry, were terrible at the time. But Peres. 37, now B-G's Deputy Defense Minister, denies that he had any part in framing Lavon, and Dayan, 45, now Agriculture Minister and B-G's present favorite for the succession, has said nothing...
