...week when four self-styled "Messengers of Peace"-Senegal's Poet-President Léopold Senghor, Cameroun's President Ahmadou Ahidjo, Nigeria's Chief of State Yakubu Gowon, and the Zaire Republic's President Joseph Mobutu-flew almost simultaneously into Lod International Airport outside Tel Aviv.

...stand for election again in 1973, I'll be 75 years old. A career doesn't begin at 75. I have had quite enough. My children have been here from Tel Aviv for three weeks in my house, and I haven't had one day with them. It is almost barbaric. I always say that anyone who wants to be Prime Minister in Israel deserves...
