Former Premier Golda Meir was operated on her eye Thursday at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem to remove a cataract. Her condition was reported as good. Doctors did not allow any visitors, but her room was flooded with wreaths of flowers. Doctors said she would remain in the hospital until the middle of this week, but she would then need a period of rest at home before she could return to their regular activities.
