...believe Mr. Carter is less mysterious than he is made out to be. The Johnson-Nixon experience so shriveled our confidence in presidential simplicity that we have become a nation of uneasy skeptics, sure only that Presidents are seldom what they seem and attuned to hear in every little psychological discord the dirge of neurosis.

Only 20% of Israeli Jews are strictly observant, but the religious parties that represent them are a potent factor in the nation's politics. The largest of the groups, the National Religious Party, has been included in almost every Labor government coalition since 1948.
