The last time I saw Shimon Peres was at a breakfast a little more than a year ago. At 92-years-old, he regaled us with his views of the government, the peace process, American politics, French literature and the history of Israel. Then Peres, formerly named Szymon Perski, repeated one of his favorite themes: the greatest gift of the Jews to the world, he said, was dissatisfaction. We all laughed and knew what he meant.
