...opponents are usually in trouble. Last week he quit for the seventh time, dashing off his letter of resignation after a brisk three-mile constitutional at a resort on the Sea of Galilee. He then cut the letter by 80% and bounced into an emergency Cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, his hair so wildly askew that reporters agreed: "The old man's in a fighting mood." The letter itself was full of cloudy references to "the rule of law, the separation of powers . . . the call of my conscience." But everybody in Israel knew that Ben-Gurion's real purpose...

Professor Smith had been browsing through the libraries of the 5th century monastery of Mar Saba in the wilderness a dozen miles southeast of Jerusalem when he came upon a 2½-page text written into the back of a book published in 1646. It was not uncommon, in times when paper was scarce, for monks to copy into contemporary volumes items of interest they might find in the odd pages of ancient, disintegrated books that floated around the library before being thrown out or used as bindings. Smith checked the handwriting with nine of the world...
