Mr. Idelman also suggested reading the script into a tape recorder or nsitrot. "They can look up and see what their countenance ia, because tension and raUuutioo all coine across," he said.

By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA) After six-and-a-half years in office, Israel's No. 1 secret agent left his office—out in the open. Nahum Admoni quit his job as head of the Mossad, Israel's prestigious foreign intelligence service. He was replaced by yet another classified official, who will remain publicly nameless until he finishes his term in office. The change of guard took place at the Prime Minister's Office. The only piece of information on the new head of the Mossad was the fact that he came from within the ranks of the agency. Prior to the change, there were reports that candidates from outside the organization were under consideration.
