...Jerusalem. An ordained rabbi and graduate lawyer, Herzog was an intelligence expert in the underground before Israel became independent. Afterward he quietly served a succession of prime ministers.

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi wrote Chou En-lai to congratulate him on China's entering the U.N., and Chou sent a warm reply: "May the friendship between the peoples of China and India grow and develop daily."
