...deal. Three women have made Woman of the Year [Sept. 7] in 45 years (Madame Chiang Kaishek, the Duchess of Windsor and Queen Elizabeth II), all ridiculous choices. When you pass over females like Eleanor Roosevelt, Margaret Chase Smith, Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, Edith Green, etc., for nonproductive females whose contributions to society have been nil or destructive, it completely shows a typical male's lack of thought...
...Abdullah's Palestinian subjects on the West Bank never really warmed to their King. Many of them suspected that he might agree to a peaceful settlement with Israel; one of the Israeli emissaries who once slipped into Jordan in Arab disguise to plead with the King was Golda Meir. A Palestinian gunman killed Abdullah at Jerusalem's historic Al Aqsa mosque. The assassin also fired at Grandson Hussein, who was standing beside Abdullah, but the bullet ricocheted off a medal on his uniform. Abdullah was succeeded by Hussein's father, Talal. But after one year, schizophrenia overcame...

Her military shopping list included sophisticated electronic equipment and Phantom jets that would partially offset Israel's loss of advantage at the Suez front caused by the forward deployment of the Soviet missiles. The economic proposals mainly involved long-term credits to a nation that spends almost 30% of its gross national product on defense, more than three times what the U.S. allocates...
...last quarter-hour of their 90-minute meeting, Nixon and Mrs. Meir dismissed their aides and talked alone. The Israeli Prime Minister was known to have two thoughts on her mind. She wanted Nixon to have a clear idea of Israel's minimal conditions for a final settlement, which include continued control over the Golan Heights and those sections of Jerusalem seized during the Six-Day War. In addition, she was determined to let the President know that Israel intended to boycott any negotiations with the Arabs until the missile violations are halted...
