Azaryah Alon is 95 years old, founder some 60 years ago of the Israeli Association for Preservation of Nature. The first such organization in Israel.
He is known as a hiking guide and as a radio personality. For some 50 years he had a weekly radio show.
We met in the Jerusalem Hostel, and he got there by bus from Kibbutz Beit HaShitah, where he lives. He said it cost NIS 18.00 for the trip from the Kibbutz to Jerusalem, and you can't beat that price... :)

b) Accounting does not even begin to account for risky derivatives, which are now US treasury backed, adding up to somewhere between $50-100 Trillion...
