"SPECIAL OCCASIONS REQUIRE
SPECIAL DRESSES"
ing to let history make the
final judgment."
The isolation, which seemed
hermetic in the early days,
now loosens at times. Begin
welcomed Soviet Jewish ac-
tivist Ida Nudel for a brief
visit the day after she flew to
Israel from Moscow in
October. But when Jimmy
Carter came to town in
March, Begin turned down
his peace partner's request
for a meeting. Instead, Carter
says, they had a friendly chat
on the phone.
"If he wants to see some-
body, he sees them," says
Yehiel Kadishai, his longtime
personal aide. "But he doesn't
see any journalists. No Bill
Safire, no George Will, no
Mike Wallace, not one of
them. He doesn't want to."
Menachem Begin's days
start early. He's up at dawn,
reads the local newspapers,
has breakfast, then Kadishai
arrives with more Israeli
papers, The Times of London
and the International Herald
Tribune. Kadishai brings
along a cardboard file of let-
ters, and Begin spends an
hour or so going over cor-
respondence. A housekeeper
fixes lunch. In the afternoon,
daughter Leah returns from
her job as an El Al ground
staffer and makes dinner. If
there are no guests, Begin
may spend the entire day in
pajamas and robe. His son
lives just around the corner
and stops by almost daily._
He is an insatiable reader,
and Kadishai strains to fill
his appetite. In recent weeks
he has read "Veil" by Bob
Woodward and "Spycatcher"
by Peter Wright. He devoured
William Safire's 1,100-page
"Freedom" in a mere two
days. Kadishai also brought
him Jehan Sadat's memoirs,
"Masters of the Game" by
Sidney Sheldon, and "The
Proud Tower" by Barbara
'Richman.
The world does not totally
forget him. He received more
than 400 New Year's greet-
ings at Rosh Hashanah and
100 cables for his 74th birth-
day in August. lb those who
write him, he often writes
back, short, noncommittal
replies that express sym-
pathy and appreciation yet
say nothing of substance.
He answers his own phone,
and the private number
seems to be on the Rolodex of
every Israeli journalist. Occa-
sionally he will respond to a
specific query that is timed
propitiously, expressing joy
at Ida Nudel's arrival or
shame and regret over Ronald
Reagan's journey to the Bit-
burg cemetery.
Mostly, says Kadishai,
Begin finds the calls annoy-
ing. But ibmko, noting that
Begin has taken the trouble
