*Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above (we claim no affiliation), and others who helped to liberalize Latin American economies.

A View From the Past

Posted by Jonathan on January 13th, 2006 (All posts by Jonathan)

October 28, 1955

Ariel Sharon (standing 2nd left) and colleagues. Also notable: Meir Har-Tzion (standing left), Moshe Dayan (standing 3rd left) and Rafael Eitan (crouching right). (For additional perspectives on Eitan, see this obituary and this recent interview with his widow.)

The above photo, captioned “Israel’s legendary soldiers”, is taken from this gallery at the Jerusalem Post’s website. It’s worth a look, though it’s necessary to slog through a lot of relatively dull recent photos in order to see more-interesting material from the 1950s through 1980s.

    Is it me or does the guy sitting in the middle look like a young Prince Charles (at a quick glance anyway)?
