A number of world figures were asked how things would be different in the year 2000. Israeli Prime Minister DAVID BEN-GURION predicted that the Soviet Union would be transformed into a "free and democratic" country and that there would be peace between Arabs and Israelis. Lyndon Johnson, then a Senator, saw the end of racial segregation in America. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT foresaw a Jewish President. Today, because the union is moving offices, it wants...
