Shimon Peres had a reputation for being a consummate politician. A story is told of him traveling down road and coming to a fork. At the crossroads, Peres asked which route Ben Gurion would have taken. The driver responded, "He would have left his options open."
Peres then asks what Menachem Begin would have done. The driver answered, "Begin would have chosen a route and then obtained a legal document attesting to the fact that there were no other options available."
Peres thought and then said to the driver, "Signal left, and then turn right."
