OK, that's not a watertight argument: They may be unhappy with other aspects of his history, his program etc., on the one hand, or, on the other, he may be so much in the middle he makes no one happy- but prima facie it's not a solid point.<br /><br />My basic point is this: The tensions with the Roshei Yeshiva were resolved even before he was invested, hence their presence. So why keep bringing up the Tehillim rally, for instance, bad as it might have been?Nachumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292162031685942549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573742.post-1108665258651404922005-02-17T13:34:00.000-05:002005-02-17T13:34:00.000-05:00BB --
