He has never tried to hide the gloomy truths about modern life or gloss over all the sound reasons (starting or ending with Auschwitz) for a thinking person to despair.

...announced on Aug. 28 that he planned to resign as Prime Minister of Israel. Shamir, who had been chosen to be leader of the Likud bloc when Begin stepped down, had managed to secure the support of all 64 members of Begin's outgoing coalition.
