The condition of former Premier Golda Meir has slightly improved, her physician at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital reported Monday. She was hospitalized 10 days ago for severe back pains and a virus which hit her two months ago. Due to a heavy flow of visitors to the former Premier, including ministers, Knesset members, Labor Party heads and family members, her physicians have asked that the public refrain from visits for the time being. It was reported that Mrs. Meir spends her time with family members, following closely the latest developments in the peace negotiations.
