...weary of politics to hand-pick his successor: Ukrainian-born Finance Minister Levi Eshkol, 67, who has brought Israel from a hand-to-mouth economy to the point where its gross national product has risen an average of 11% annually over the past five years, and its dollar surplus is almost an embarrassment. Twice married but now a widower, Eshkol has four daughters, one of whom teaches dancing in Jerusalem, while another is a sergeant in the Israeli army. His new Cabinet strongly resembles Ben-Gurion's old one, and it is unlikely there will be any radical changes...

But tonic is the mainstay, and Sir Frederick Hooper, a onetime botany student who became the firm's managing director in 1948, has combined shrewd marketing and sophisticated advertising to make it a mass seller in more than 70 nations. Bitter Lemon, which already outsells tonic in Britain-Schweppes people like to say that it has schweppt the island-is a concoction containing ground lemons, quinine and secret essence; Schweppes hopes that it will...
