...interrupted me," said the President with a grin. "I don't know who the Democratic candidates will be next year, but I do know this . . . They will fight for all the people." This time the Democrats clapped and roared on cue. Said Navy Secretary Dan Kimball later: "There is no chance that he will not run ... He hit the middle of the ring [with his hat]." (Said Harry Truman, when a reporter put the question next day: "It wasn't my hat. It wasn...

His Mapai had increased its popular vote from 35 to 37%, but had emerged with the same 46 seats. The Orthodox religious bloc had lost ground-from 16 to 14 seats. The pro-Soviet Mapam, formerly Israel's No. 2 party, dropped from 19 seats to 15. But B.G. had a new antagonist: into second place, increasing their seats from seven...
