While the two men were off speaking, Lady Bird approached Paula and asked her: So how is your king doing? After all, as a Southern Chrisian, all she knew about Israel and Jews was from the Bible and in the Bible, Israel was generally a monarchy. To which Mrs. Ben Gurion, puzzled, reply: we don't have king. Our head of state is a president.<BR/>Lady Bird then apparently was overhead saying to LBJ: what a crazy country. Only 10 years old and already they've deposed their king!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
