It was the second time they met. Their first meeting was at approximately seven o’clock on a Sunday morning outside the Governor’s Mansion on Eagle Street in Albany.

His only warning was: “Keep it down. We don’t want to wake up my wife.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5671def7e0327c81fa8e84d8/1450389328429-CZAD7LVIA5CEJTJYP301/Rabin+Fisher+1.jpg Photos over the Years - Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Max M.
