"The first duty of a novelist is to entertain," said best-selling author Belva Plain. "When you hear someone say, "I couldn't put it down'— that's what it's all about." Mrs. Plain, 60, who received worldwide acclaim for her novels Evergreen and Random Winds, was at the JCC last Thursday to speak about her writing career, and to promote her third novel, Eden Burning. Her appearance, cosponsored—by—the—Jewish Federation Library and the Little Professor Book Center, was one stop on a 12city promotional tour. The crowd of about 200 enjoyed Mrs. Plain's wit, honesty, and gracious manner, and many stood in line at the reception afterward for personal autographs. Mrs. Plain, who resides in South Orange, N.J. with her husband of 40 years, Irving, began her professional writing career at age 25, by producing short stories for Cosmopolitan magazine. Her short stories have also appeared In such magazines as McCatl't. Good Housekeeping, and Redbook. She temporarily put her writing aside to raise her family, and stated that, "There's too much pressure put on women today. It's very hard. One has to make the choice and postpone, because you can't do everything at once." Through background information supplied by the publishers, she was also

The connection Every businessman, every industrialist, recognizes the single most important fact of commerce: the customer is king! Even the ferocious Internal Revenue Service of the United States government recognizes that businessmen must cater to their customers. Thus, ample tax deductions are in order for those who establish good working relationships with their customers. And no company on earth has a better working relationship with its customers than the Bechtel Group, Inc. — a fantastically successful privately owned engineering dynasty. No project is too big for Bechtel. Dams, bridges and tunnels are only part of its product line7The-C0mpany-buildS-€ntire-dtieS-and^>ne

such engineering feat is under way in Saudi Arabia. This is a city being built for 300,000 residents and is only part of the billions of dollars in business supplied to Bechtel by Saudi Arabia. This is the same 'moderate; Saudi Arabia that blackmails and pressures the United States of America — the strongest and greatest country in the world. The latest from this 'moderate' sheikdom is that unless the United States muzzles Israel, the Saudis will do the following: They will withdraw one billion dollars from American banks... They will impose a strict oil embargo on the United States... They will invite the Soviet Union to open an embassy in the Kingdom. Do Americans have anything to worry about? You bet your life. The new secretary of state designate is the president of Bechtel. Should he be confirmed, he will join bis former company counsel — Pentagon Chief Weinberger — in the highest echelons of government. The entire Bechtel connection should be probed intensively by Congress and discussed by each and every American. Morris Maline

To the United States on the fourth ofJuly BY OR. IRVING GKKENBERG Director, National Jewish Rrsource Center National Jrwlsh Resource Center copyrlghl In the generation after the Holocaust, conscious Jews swore they would never ogain say anywhere; "it can't happen here." As part of the pledge "never again." American Jews have been determined to avoid any complacency no matter how weil things arc going in the United States. In the '60s and 70s, the strong influence erf radical Jews, strengthened by the anti-Vietnam War movement.led toan underestimate of America in Jewish circles. All too frequently, the U.S. has been portrayed Ihroughout the media as "Amcrika." an empire shot through with injust ice and dangerous imperialist tendencies which could easily turn into domestic reaction or fascism. In recent years, there has been an upsurge of anti-

Scmiticinciripnls and neonazism which has stimulated^

new fixation on the danger of the United Slates' going the way of Germany. Finally, the President's thinly disguised suggestion that American Jews, in fighting the AWACs sale, were representing the interest of a foreign state <c.g.. "dual loyalty") further convinced many Jews that nothing ever changes. They opined that America is the same as all the other host havens that sooner or later turned on Ute Jews. In the final analysis, anti-Semitism and nonacceptance of differences will win out. As a result of all this, the United States has never gotten the credit it deserved Paradoxically, the old monolithic cultural images of WASP America have been broken in the past four decades. With it, the old feverish, slightly extorted Jewish superpatriotism ("the lady doth protest too much") was also broken. Since patriotism has been unfashionable, it was never replaced. It U a pity, because America deserves more appreciation than ever from Jews. The condition of this community is already unique in Jewish Diaspora history. In plain truth, America's treatment of American Jewry is one of the all-time great examples of human generosity and humaneness. It deserves to be celebrated. Even if the policy Is repealed—I do not believe (hat current trends point to this happening—the present stands as a triumph of the human spirit and of democratic civilization. tn what is one of the great material civilizations of all time. American Jews have achieved an economic and social standing that is the highest of the three major religions on the average (of course, there are poor Jews*. In income and occupational distribution, the Jewish condition is comparable to the Episcopalian and Presbyterian denominations, e.g., the old-line colonial established Protestant groups. Jews have achieved unprecedented high

educational Icvels-the latest studies-more Uuwi five years old-showed that over M percent of Jews went to university. Never before In human history ha* the rank and file of nny people had the valuta, the money, and Ihe acceptance to obtain universal advanced education. In the Golden Age of Spain. Jews were a tolerated minority. In America. Jews have become one of three accepted indigenous religions, perceived as a partner by right in the basic nation values consensus ("Ihe JudeoChristian tradition") Itecent sludks have shown that despite Ihe upsurge of incidents, the long-term improvement of attitudes toward Jews continues (although 25 percent of the population will retain some negative views). But evanescent public opinion .surveys arc not the crucial point. It is the pluralism of American society which makes It so remarkable. There is no one host group which is exclusively the indigenous one— and which extends acceptance or dclegitimatcs all the other group*. The pluralism is combined with an exIraordinary diffusion of sources of self-criticism which prevent the emergence of absolutist claims. The multiplicity is the key to Ihe drop in nnli-Semitism. Ultim.ifely. anti-Semitism ha* expressed the resentment of every absolutist group—from liberal to reactionary and from atheist to religious—tlut rcsentfd the continuing Jewish distinctive existence with its implied contradiction to theadequacy or ultimncy or nil their categories. Of course, Ihe post-Vidnam back'afch showed the dangerous possibility of the unraveling of the American social fabric. The current fundnmenlalist political-religious upsurge raises some of the same anxieties although these groups have mostly disowned nnli-Semltism vigorously. The unselfconscious WASP quality of the tieagan ad ministration expressed also In the absence of any Jewish cabinet member and the lack of concern about a Jewish Supreme Court seat is alK> a setback. But alt thin together is very far from changing the basic breakthrough which still governs Ihe American consensus. The pluralism is combined with a continuing extraordinary level of support by all Americans for Jewish concerns—in foreign aid and political-military support of Israel. Soviet Jewry, etc. My late father was an immigrant who often said to his children I tut we should kiss the ground of America in appreciation. America lias gotten even tetter since then-the pressure to appreciate and consider our treatment a favor has almost disappeared. The medieval Jewish philosopher Itahya stated that gratitude is the fundamental basis of Judaism. So cotrsldir. this column a token expression of a fundamental value of Judaism-a Valentine to the United Stales for the Fourth of

A grave assault Haifa - The Israel public was deeply shocked to read in the afternoon newspaper, Yediot Aharonol, what was said to be an excerpt from a book still in the writing on Moshc Dayan. It was written by his son Ehud < Udi) Dayan. The shock was compounded a few days later when Udi' appeared on television and with a straight face repeated some of his brutal and bitter statements. Udi did not hide the motive for his vicious attack on his father: Dayan had left his entire estate to his wife, Kahel. The young man did not mention that during his lifetime his father had given him the family homestead in Nahalal. The son's charges against his distinguished father Mere ugly and venomous. He accused him of "cashing in" on Israel's wars, and of being motivated constantly by avarice. Dayan was so hungry for money, wrote Udi, that he even profited on his illnesses. The effects of the anesthesia after his operation had hardly worn off when Dyan hastened to sell the story of his clinical experiences to a newspaper. He would have been willing even to sell his intestines, by the yard, if he could! Udi made light of his father's military prowess and wrote that in a country like England Dayan would not even have graduated from Officers' Training School. Israel's standards are apparently more like those of Iraq or Turkey, the bitter son wrote. The accusations and insults flowed. His father wrote infantile doggerel verse. He was blackmailed by a prostitute who made a secret recording of their bedroom tryst. He referred to his father's penchant for women, no secret in Israel. To those whu say: woe to the father whose son mourns -Jrfin ljkjLjb£t_Udj replied: woe to the sop whqjjgdj like that "7" ~"~^~ ~

Addressing his father with the worms underground, he concluded: "They will soon be unveiling your gravestone. I'll be present only if f get one third of half your estate. You f>ce. I inherited something of your characteristics." His sister, Yael, disassociated herself completely from her brother's observations. Those who know him, say that Udi is no fool. His pride had been deeply hurt when the will had been read in the presence of the family, and he discovered to his great disappointment, that the-three children were left nothing. His outburst is said to have been written while he was still under the influence of that event. Many doubt that he has anything more to say, and that there will be no book. In the television interview he appeared to be disturbed, even unstable, but spoke quietly. In the days that followed, the press dealt with the "scandal" and few had kind words (osay for Ihe embittered son. One commentator wrole that the venomous attack against his father, and the hatred which he showed, served as sufficient Justification to many Israelis for Dayan, knowing his son as he did, to disinherit him. One journalist had a revelation. Just before his death, Moshc Dayan had deposited with his lawyers a codicil to his will in which he provided for a very generous bequest to his children, on condition that none of them would speak out against him within one year after his death. If this condition were violated, the codicil was to be destroyed. Udi's real punishment, that will haunt him for the rest of his life, the Jounallst wrote, Is that he will never know If the really "truer

Jewish Pre»i

A review ByJIUKaibner Jewish Preti Intern Where were you on Father's Day? Chances are good that you were not at the "What Somebody" band's bluegrass concert at the JCC. And chances are even better that you missed a footstomping, entertaining evening with four versatile musicians. But the 80 people in attendance spent two hours clapping their hands and tapping their toes . as Deborah Greenblatt, Curley Knnis, Steve McDaniels and David Scay performed original songs and -.old

favorites such as; "Bury Me Beneath the Willows," "The Tennessee Waltz,',' and "Arkansas Traveler." The band members exchanged vocals throughout the show, and harmonized together during several songs, among them; "Salty Dog," and "The Clouds are Going to Roll Away." Ms. Greenblatt, the band's lead musician was definitely the center attraction with her impeccable fiddle-playing.

Mao to Mozart By Barbara Forbes [>UCO Intern Sounds strange? Well, not really, "Mao to Mozart" is an Academy Award winning film about violinist Isaac Stern's visit to China and his attendance of various recitals throughout the country. Born In 1920 in Krlnlniesz, Russia, Mr. Stern came to the United Stales when he was one-year old. At the age of eight he began to study the violin and at 11, he made his debut with the San Francisco Symphony, and in 1943 appeared at Carnegie Hall. In reviews following his performance at Carnegie there appeared quotes such as this: "...one of the biggest violin talents of our time." This is still true today, and in his most recent film effort this talent is shown with great style, as are the talents of China's young musicians. "Mao to Mozart" is the second film in the Miller Film Series and will be shown for the first time in the Omaha area on Sunday, July ll at 7:30 p.m. at the JCC. Scries tickets are available or one may purchase individual tickets. For information, call 334-8200.

SAMIIKUKKA.Z.A.IOO Uy Larry Gertham ! joined (tils group in 1979 as a young freshman looking for an organization that had a great deal of fun and that would let me be myself and become part of the group. That group Is A.Z.A. 100. It was a small group when I joined consisting of 12 members at that time. That year's freshman class added nnothcr 13 members to that count. Many have said that a chapter of our size could not do much and had no chance of survival among the larger groups. Obviously, they were wrong. Our group has done many things to help the community and itself, has

given to ISF almost every year that I can remember, which 1$ easy since I was treasurer for one year, and that is a lot to say for a small group since many chapters in Cornbelt Region and in other larger regions do not contribute anything to help the fund, and in turn, themselves. I was president of the chapter during my Junior year, which gave me a chance to learn the inner workings of the chapter much better and to put my leadership skills to work. I noticed that the hard work of the chapter really pays off when they do their activities and good leadership from all of the Executive Boards

helps greatly. And now as past president for my Senior year, I will have o chance to give input into the new administration and give, hopefully, helpful advice for the good of the chapter and the region. For our size, we have done many great things, even more than many other large chapters, fulfilling the five folds of A.Z.A. and contributing to the community at large. For this and many other reasons, I feel that A.Z.A. deserves recognition for its achievements as part of B.B.Y.O. International and" Cornbelt Region and Judaism itself.

WASHINGTON (JTA) Moshe Arena, Israel's Ambassador to the United States, said that Israel's military operation in Lebanon may provide a basis for movement on Palestinian autonomy on the West Bank and Gaza Strip. "I think there is reason to hope that we may be able to move more cxpcditlously than we thought we could before in the negotiations for autonomy for Palestinian Arabs living in Judca, Samaria and the Gaza area," Arcns siad in a speech to the National Press Club here. According to Arena, the participation of local Palestinians in autonomy was severely inhibited by the Palestine Liberation Organization which, he said, murdered moderates willing to cooperate with Israel. "We hope this impediment in the foundation of the peace making has now been removed," Arcns stated, referring to the military setback of the PLO in south Lebanon. He said that the Israelis "may have taken a step forward towards that comprehensive peace in the Middle East that we arc working for and hoping for."' Jfe predicted that the day may not "be far off" when Lebanon, like Egypt, will sign an Independent peace treaty with Israel, "and then almost inevitably the other Arab states will have to follow suit."

"Hadassah offers roots ByJillKuKhner Jewish Press Inttrn Being involved in Hadassah for 30 years, national vice-president Ruth Popkln has seen the organization grow and change, but one factor remains constant — "Hadassah gives women roots," she said, in a recent interview. Mrs. Popkln, who has held numerous national, regional, and local positions (the latter two In New York) in Hadassah, spent several days in Omaha this week to speak at several parties hosted by the local chapter. She spoke with pride about Hadassah's many educational contributions to Israel. Through Hadassah Israel Education Services (H.I.E.S.), "wo introduce educational, vocational disciplines In Israel.

She also cited Hadassah's success as the sole sponsor of Young Judea, plus its recognition as the Jewish National Fund's largest contributor. However, the "pride and joy of Hadassah," according to Mrs. Popkin, is the regional hospital on Mount Scopus.

She also noted that, "there's been a concerted effort to involve younger women, and older members let the reins of leadership go into younger hands."

Mollie's group tours Israel, Italy Participants describe seventeen day trip in Holy Land By Al Rlmerman How does one rate the thrill of climbing the steps of Masada? The climax of a dream I had all of ray young 66 yean. On a scale of one to ten, I personally would say around 30. Never did I think 1 would be allowed this privilege, but hand in hand, with my young "Maidee* MolJye, we held our heads up high with a group of 14 others from Moliie Delman's Senior Citizens Group to Israel. We pushed up, step by step, until we reached the plateau. We had achieved a goal of walking on hallowed ground and viewing historical sites. It was as if the echos and ghosts from the rumbled past were reaching out to us and saying "Shalom." Our Israeli guide Yitzahak was not just any professional person; he was outstanding for his ability to show and teach us about the important areas of the site. He did not act as a guide only, he was our friend. He taught us things about Masada, he spoke with such patriotism and fervor in his speech. I felt very humble and beholden for the privilege. King Herod, if he had lived in modern times, would have been in Who's Who of Engineering. What we say was a masterpiece <A planning for a fortress in the sky for a complete community. Rising steeply to 1300 feet above the Dead Sea, it is topped by a broad plateau of only twenty acres with gardens and water storage, canals, bath house, ritual baths, swimming pools. There was also a synagogue with sentry towers set at intervals along the defending walls making approach difficult, as there was only the narrow snake path. From topside we saw the outlines of the Roman camps below and also the remains of the dirt ramp they used to finally, after three years of siege, to conquer. King Herod was good to the Jews, but after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 C.E., a group of Jewish zealots, men, women, and children barricaded themselves on Masada and held on for three years.

Some of the outstanding places we saw were: the Hadassah Hospital adorned with the famous Chagall Windows in the synagogue of the Centre, Mea She'arim. the Knesset, Israel Museum, Uilly Hose Sculpture Garden, Yad llashecm, Yad Mordecai, the Baron Edmond Kolhschild Mausoleum, the Ha hai Shrine, the Western Wall, the Diamond Factory, the olive wood factory, tlte tothchild Winery, the Masada, the Soreq Cave, the Dead Sea, and many other exciting places. We spent one night at a Kibbutz where a member lectured to us about living on a Kibbutz. The next morning, we were taken on a (ourand we saw all the beautiful children We knew this was what Israel is all about. Walking on Dizcngoff, the most famous street in TrI Aviv on a Saturday night was on unforgettable experience It was like New Years Eve in Times Square. Lena Grossman was thrilled to see a Jewish National Fund monument In which her hatband Morris' name was inscribed. The Jewish National Fund Forest is fully planted now. Several of our group planted trees with their own hands in this forest. From our guides' comments, we believe Jewish National Fund has played a big role in saving (he land in Israel. We left Israel In a slate of ecstasy, overwhelmed by all we had seen.

We had fulfilled a dream. I felt that I had left a part of myself there. 1 came down reborn. I hope a better person for having made the pilgrimage toa special place in Jewish history. I will always remember and "Thank G-d" for the privilege-I am so very proud to be a Jew. P.S. To whom it may concern! I am not a writer ... I wrote this from the heart as I saw it with my very own eyes... because I was there!!!

'from border to border* by Sally Venger What an eyeopener this trip was. Of all the reports we've had on Israel, only being there can make one realize what a great people we arc. In many instances we couldn't believe our eyes. Those participating in this tour were Dr. Milton and Ann Margolin, Charlie and Lillian Guss, Charlotte and Sid Spiegelman.

When they realized they were defeated, their commander, Elizar ben Yar, spoke to the defenders and ruled that each man kill his own family and one man kill the remaining ten men. When the Romans entered, they found ample stores to show it was not lack of provisions that caused them to surrender. They only found piles of corpses and deathly silence.

Our two days in Home were very interesting lo see our high school studies come to life. Our first impression was of the gorgeous statues on top of the Wfih IxiildingK, the lounlaim, the famous streets, and squares. We couldn't believe our eyes. We visited the Central synagogue. We had a lecture by a gentleman who spoke English very well. He told us a $2,000,000 renovation was in progress. There are 1CO00 Jews in Home, 0 synagogues, 15 Rabbis who rotate going from synagogue to synagogue. The synagogue is uso<l as a museum. We are all happy to be home after 17 beautiful days in Israel and Rome. Our heartfelt thanks to Moliie Delman for her constant rare and attention. Her good judgment in making quick decisions when necessary. And thanks to Lou Delman who surprised all the ladies with flowers on Mothers Day nnd also thanks to him for sharing Moliie with us.
