...poetry who, however, shows little poetry in his political style. West Germany has not had an inspirational leader since Adenauer, or Britain since Churchill; a contest between Labor Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Tory Leader Ted Heath would involve a choice of Yorkshire pudding or boiled potatoes. Mrs. Golda Meir has more panache-at least for those who appreciate Jewish mothers -than her predecessor, Levi Eshkol, but she can hardly match that prophet-politician David Ben-Gurion. Revolution has unseated the egomaniacal Nkrumah of Ghana and Sukarno of Indonesia -no loss to the world, except in drama. Egypt...
After their three days of talks with Israeli Premier Golda Meir, Richard Nixon and his aides could only be impressed by her single-mindedness. She came to Washington to seek jets and arms, but not peace through compromise. Outwardly, the Premier is the archetypical, haimisheh (homey) Jewish grandma.

Obviously moved, Mrs. Meir ignored her security guards and plunged into the audience, shaking children's hands and hugging many of them. On the return flight to New York, Golda recalled Milwaukee not so much for her life there, but for what it led to. "That was the city," she said, "where I made the most important decision of my life." That decision was to move to Palestine in 1921. Since then, the establishment of a safe haven for Jewry...
