Weather broke bright & clear so finally our ride. I wanted to see the trail at least once because the Pres. & I are scheduled to ride on Monday. Got word of Israeli bombing of Iraq—nuclear reactor. I swear I believe Armageddon is near. Returned to W.H. at 3 P.M. More word on bombing. P.M. Begin informed us after the fact.
