Former Premier David Ben-Gurion was back at work today in his Tel Aviv home after being confined to bed earlier this week suffering from spells of dizziness. Doctors attributed his indisposition to the strain of the election campaign preceding the municipal and national balloting on November 2.
Mr. Ben-Gurion, as the oldest member of Israel’s Parliament, will preside at the opening of the sixth Knesset (Parliament) next Monday, as scheduled.
