According to a cruel gibe at the time, Eshkol became Premier "to prove that Israel could get along without one." Lacking flair and unabashedly heimish (just plain folks), he ventured no flamboyant new policies but rather consolidated and institutionalized the investment of blood, money and effort of the earlier years. Under his leadership, Israelis fulfilled the ancient Jewish promise of meeting "next year in Jerusalem." His dream of seeing a new wave of immigration from Russia proved as elusive as peace with the Arabs, but he came somewhat closer to his political ambition of forging a single majority labor party...
...those New York winter chills, and he has already tried the Sahara and the Caribbean. Miami was a thought, "because it's so infinitely sordid and untempting." So now Author Truman Capote is settled in Palm Springs, Calif., working away on his first book since In Cold Blood.

Navy officials ordered a halt to all diving. Sealab 3, still leaking helium, was brought to the surface and lifted onto a barge to be taken ashore and repaired...
Shakespeare asks for far more than skill: he asks for a human sacrifice -the actor's mind, heart, body, soul and blood. It is the quality of a life that is test ed in Hamlet as much as the pro fessional gifts of an actor. That may be one reason why so many actors shy away from the role. It threatens to ex pose the limits of their humanity as well as the potholes of their craft. Yet no actor can aspire to the pinnacle of his art without measuring himself against the greatest role in English-speaking drama...
