NY Times & Livni

July 12, 2007 - 11:10 AM by

If you missed Sunday’s NY Times Magazine section, then do yourself a favor and follow this link to Roger Cohen’s cover story on Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.

Cohen’s narrative is silky smooth and you’ll learn something not only about Livni’s political and personal background and political ambition and vision, you’ll also get insight into her beginnings, her ascent and the people who surround and mentor her.

As the writer points out, her draw card is genuineness.

What she has, at a time of disorientation and seeping corruption in Israeli politics, is an image of absolute integrity, the distinction of being a woman on a male-dominated political scene and a wholesome quality that stands in contrast to the slick, wheeler-dealer style of Olmert, whose approval ratings have plunged into the single-digit zone.
