Good question. For months, Ben-Gurion has been keeping a grueling political schedule that would make a far younger man feel six score years of age. On the day before his birthday, he harangued a crowd of 3,000 in the Red Sea port of Elath on the failure of Premier Levi Eshkol to develop the Negev, then gave a two-hour evening lecture on other Eshkol shortcomings.

Since Israel itself uses only 1,500,000 tons of oil a year, the Israel pipeline offers the possibility of sending Middle...
...nation's business. It invests in iron foundries, textile mills and shipyards, factories from Dan to Beersheba. When the army's victories made Israel safe beyond these scriptural bounds, Histadrut reopened King Solomon's (copper) mines and built a luxury hotel to attract tourists to Elath.
