...curiosity was understandable. Begin had been in seclusion since the previous September, after he abruptly announced he was quitting the job he had held since 1977. "I cannot carry on," he said simply. Aides and friends alike described him as darkly depressed by the 1982 death of his wife Aliza and the continuing toll of a war that was supposed to have been a swift success. Toward the end of his tenure, when a caller complimented him on the invasion of Lebanon, he could only murmur, "But the casualties, the casualties...

After his wife's funeral on Monday, Begin remained in seclusion in his Jerusalem home. No new dates have been set for his meeting with Reagan...
...been a ten-day trip to the U.S., culminating in a meeting with President Reagan at the White House this week. But just as he was about to address a Jewish group in Los Angeles on Saturday evening, Begin received word from Jerusalem that his wife of 43 years, Aliza, 62, had died. She had been suffering from complications of the respiratory system. Begin, who was very close to his wife, had postponed his trip to the U.S. several times in order to remain by her side.
