Eban and Churchill

The journalists and the New York Times were as hostile and ignorant then as they are today. What has changed is the quality of the men who represent us.

Having just concluded reading Winston Churchill's six-volume "The Second World War" I would agree with Daniel Pipes that "Eban was not only Israel's outstanding spokesman but ranks with Winston Churchill as among the most eloquent English-language statesmen of recent times."
