The bad news was that its most essential coalition partner would probably be the National Religious Party, which in spite of a 10% drop in popular votes had kept its critical eleven Knesset seats. In return for siding with Labor, the N.R.P. was likely to make one firm foreign policy demand: that Israel not surrender those parts of its "ancestral home" around Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Hebron that were captured...

No one is singled out by pesky fund raisers, autograph hunters or gawkers, a devotional hazard at other Los Angeles area synagogues. When he belonged to another temple, Comic Jack Carter recalls, "People kept staring and whispering, 'Isn't that Joey Bishop?' Now I'm with my own peers, and I dig the fellowship...
