...anti-war demonstration. The two talked to deans and faculty members, who patted them on the back but told them there was nothing the University could do about it all but Good Luck. The Dunster House Senior Common Room lent its sympathy in a weak-kneed petition, defying a rule against such pronouncements. But it meant little. Two Harvard students may well go to jail for their political and moral beliefs while the University, in true laissez-faire fashion, invites the Navv and Colgate Palmolive to recruit more "highly trained young...

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. "I understand," she told Charles de Gaulle, when he adamantly refused to talk...
