That was typical of the outspoken, Brooklyn-raised nurse who played wife, secretary and mother to B-G through 51 years of revolution, rule and final retirement to a kibbutz in 1963. Paula's touch was homey-she fetched thermos jugs of coffee to her husband at the Knesset during late-night debates-but her tongue was a national weapon.

She has been to New York twice visiting relatives. She is curious about the racial riots in the United States and quick to grasp the immensity of the problems underlying them. Already matriculated, Yael has no doubt about going on with her studies, and has decided to spend one year studying in the U.S., probably at Berkeley. Yael's generation is returning to the European of its own accord, demanding higher education...
