...least three continents--into one volume organized around the theme of the leader in history. The book contains 14 of the interviews Fallaci bagged between 1969 and 1974; on exhibit, in embarrassing nakedness, are the powerful from Henry Kissinger to Alexandros Panagoulis, a dialectical progression that includes Golda Meir and Yasir Arafat, Indira Gandhi and Ali Bhutto, Dom Helder Camera and Archbishop Makarios...
...support look good, and those you dislike look bad. Actually, the most interesting parts of your book are the introductions to each interview, in which you describe your perceptions of the character. These descriptions are sensitive and poetic, especially when the interviewee is someone you liked, or admired: Golda Meir, Dom Camara, Alexandros Panagoulis--people you can portray as heroic.

Each of the 14 people in Interview with History is introduced so that the reader sees the individual...
...when they understand what forces are at work in them--social, biochemical and genetic forces--to hinder them from asserting themselves in fields dominated by men, they will certainly become better able to change the balance.

Like most politicians, Carter is a professional collector of people. At one time or another, he has described as "good friends of mine" such retiring folks as Edward Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey, Golda Meir, Henry Kissinger, Bob Dylan and Burt Reynolds. There is probably no more bizarre relationship in American politics than the one that exists between him and Hunter Thompson, author of Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72 and other boozy, spaced-out analyses of the American body politic. Thompson met Carter in 1974 at a University of Georgia Law Day ceremony, where Carter gave...
After half a century in politics -capped by a five-year run as Prime Minister of Israel-what could be left for Golda Meir? Broadway, of course. At a meeting with agents of the New York Theater Guild in Tel Aviv last week, Golda, 77, signed over dramatic rights to her life story based on her 1975 autobiography, My Life. A nonmusical version of the book will hit the boards some time in 1977, said Guild President Philip Langner. Four Israeli actresses are already under consideration for the starring role, but Langner insists that the casting call will be strictly...
