Gen. Rabin stated in his tribute to Mr. Eshkol: "His legacy is everlasting. It is written large across the very landscape of theland be so loved: reclaimed countryside, hundreds of immigrant villages, water to the barren south, new industries, an expanding economy, an ever- stronger army of defense—these and more are Levi Eshkol. "Each phase of Israel's develop- ment, before and after statehood, reflects his lifelong labors on be- half of his people — as pioneer- farmer, as soldier, as labor leader, as administrator, as emissary, as politician, as cabinet minister, as ; statesman, and as premier of Israel.

There is in nature what is within reach and what is beyond reach.
