Description "Mr. Teddy Kollek," WFB begins, "is the Mayor of Jerusalem, the city with the longest recorded history in the world ... and at this moment [following the Six-Day War] the principal point of contact between the Arab and the Israeli populations in perhaps the most combustible area in the world." This serious conversation begins with the United Nations proposal that Jerusalem be made an international city. TK: "Well, I don't think there is a country or a city in the world who would rely on the defense of the United Nations against aggressive power from the outside, nor shall we." WFB: "Well, now, suppose that you made the government of Jerusalem conditional on great-power guarantees of defense. Would that be sufficient?" TK: "I wouldn't sleep, if I would have to depend on that." WFB: "Well, I understand you don't sleep anyway. You work all the time." TK: "Well, I would be very nervous if I would have to rely on great powers. It is a small country, and before the great powers would come to our assistance, as has been proven in the past, you wouldn't exist any more."
