If there is an overriding rying for the first time, the study says. As a result, say theme to the study, it is that the study's authors, the any idyllic vision of the staforces that are reshaping bility of the Jewish family is American Jewish family a thing of the past. According to the study, life—intermarriage, divorce and remarriage—are bound among American Jews who to increase over the coming are under the age of 40 and married at least once, 50 years. percent of the males and 38 The study, conducted by percent of the females are the North American Jewish currently either intermarData Bank of the Graduate ried, divorced or both.

as you can get." The intermarriage rate among all American Jews, according to the study, is 14 percent for first marriages and climbs to 40 percent for the second marriage. But when the study focuses only on the youngest generation of marriageable Jews, the intermarriage and divorce rates soar. Thirty-seven percent of the Jewish men who are under 40 are intermarried, five times as many as those over 60. And 24 percent of young Jewish women are intermar ried, 12 times as many as women over 60. These findings show not only that intermarriage is increasing, but also that significant differences in the intermarriage rates for Jewish men and women persist. "One implication of this growing gap,'' the researchers say, "is that there will continue to be a growing demographic pressure upon Jewish women to intermany. The researchers were moat surprised to learn that

intermarriages continue to be at a much higher risk of divorce than marriages between two Jews, in every age group. For first marriages, the rate of divorce for Jews marrying Jews is 17 percent, but among the intermarried it neariy doubles to 32 percent. "The thinking was that if intermarriage was on the increase, then Jewish famiUes were making peace with it and people were living with it much more comfortably," said Mayer, who is the author of "Love and Tradition: Marriage Between Christians and Jews." "We figured that it was no longer much of a source of family disruption as it was in the past," he said. ' 'The stuprise is that on the divorce front, not much has changed." Another surprise, said Mayer, was that divorced Jews who had been involved in intermarriages tend to many non-Jews agai^.

The Edith Krasovas, Jr., Ballet, Helen Schwartz gave us a book review on the Dr. Julius Lester story, a black Methodist who converted to Judaism. Charlotte Keams showed slides on diet and cholesterol and explained the values of planned meals. The Camelot-Steppers entertained us with their dances. Phyllis Dunn played piano and sang for us and was applauded; Joni Hoffman from television channel 6 talked to us; Selma and Chaim Bernstein from Israel, cousins of MoUie Delman, visited and we enjoyed their company. With deep regret we "mourned the sudden death of Jenny Epstein. The news we received that Bess Becker, sister of Moilie Delman, had fallen sick to a stroke, shook us. We are relieved to team that she now feels better. Among the activities of the Y.E.S. group, especially should be noted, the discussion group, led by Anne Katzman. These discussions give us information about events in the Middle East. Anne shares with us the information she receives through channels. Besides Israel and the Holocaust are other topics which arouse our interest. There are: China and Russia, Hadassah, flag desecra-

abortion. football footbaU tion and abortion, and baseball, Wright and Pete Rose and so on, all topics to enrich our wisdom and knowledge. On July 6 at Beth El, Sol Parsow spoke about Jews in Russia. He stressed the importance of bring them out and helping them to start a new life in the free world. Mr. Parsow urged us all to do everything in our power to support with whatever we can the emigration and resettling of the Russian Jews. A warm welcome greeted Robert and Theresa Lorig, from Worth, lU., at the July 10 meeting at the Jewish Community Center. They are cousins of Hilda Gottlieb and came to enjoy, with our group, the excellent lunch and to learn about the activities of Jewish senior citizens in Omaha. A mazel tov was extended to Edward and Elsa Kahn on the birth of a greatgrandson. Maxwell Isaac Stiss. Kate Cavanaugh, writer of a World-Herald column, spoke about her life as a mother of eight children— three girls and five boys— the oldest 16. She said she is happy, but that life in such a great family is not always very easy, yet manageable. On July 13, entertainment was covered by Eva Meyerson at the piano. At the YES meetings we forget complaining, grumbling about trivial things. We put in smiles and laughter to ease the tensions each day brings.

Interview Cookie Hoberman will interview Reuben Greenberg, a black Jew who is chief of Police of the Charleston Police Department, July 23 at noon on WOW-T. Mr. Greenberg spoke at the Federation Pacesetter breakfast this morning. The interview is sponsored by ADL-CRC.

PARIS (JTA) - Jean Leguay, a Vichy regime police official believed responsible for rounding up Jewish children for deportation to Nazi death camps, died of liver cancer at the age of 79. Although his collaboration with the Nazis was nefarious, Leguay managed to evade justice and had a successful business career in Prance and the United States after World War II. According to Nazi-hunter Serge Klarsfeld, he offered his services to the Gestapo to arrest every Jewish child over the age of 2, along with adults. He was said to be responsible for arresting 12,000 foreign Jews, 4,000 of them children, and confining them to the Paris stadium in July 1942. But Leguay By Hugh Orgel was never tried.

By Tom Tngend LOS ANGELES (JTA)A federal judge has declared a mistrial in the case of Michael Goland, a 42-yearold businessman accused of violating federal election laws in order to ensure the victory of a pro-Israel candidate in a senatorial race. In a complicated indictment, Goland was charged with illegally funneling $120,000 to a fringe right-' wing candidate in the 1986 senatorial race in California. The alleged purpose was to siphon votes away from the Republican candidate, who was threatening the ultimately successful reelection bid of Democrat Alan Cranston, one of Israel's staunchest supporters in the U.S. Senate. The jury declared itself hopelessly deadlocked on all five counts of the indictment, after deliberating for ^nine days, following an eight-week trial. The judge ordered jurors not to discuss their disagreements publicly, so it could not be determined how the jury split. Federal prosecutors declared immediately that they will move for a retrial.

In a June 22 meeting with representatives of Jewish organizations, WNET executives admitted that the documentary is "one-sided." But they contend that their programming surrounding the documentary will put itin a proper context. The ultimate question will be whether the entire presentaHon is seen to be fair and responsible," said Richard Hutton, director of public affairs programming for WNET, who participated in the meeting. Hutton said thatsome WNET memberships had been canceled becauseof the airing and that thestation had received numerous pro tests by mail.

"We are urging all concerned people to contact PBS and Channel 13 (WNET) to protest the anticipated showing of this program," said Kelner, who took part in the June meeting with WNET executives.

By Andrew Silow Carroll NEWYORKCJTA)—Afederalbanonsemiautomatic weapons could have a "devastating effect" on the division of Israel Military Industries that manufactures the Uzi, according to the sole U.S. importer of the assault-type rifle. The Bush administration moved July 7 to ban imports of assault weapons, making permanent the temporary ban it imposed March 15. Chayim Stem, operations managerof Actions Arms Ltd. in Philadelphia, declined to givea dollar figure or exact number of the Uzis his firm has sold. But he said that as many as 100,000 of the guns have been sold since Action Arms obtained the patent for the semiautomatic version of the Israeli-made firearm nine year ago. Stem said that the semiautomatic version of the gun used to sell for approximately $700 at the retail level, but prices have zoomed to $1,500 to $2,000 per gun since the March 15 temporary ban was announced. Stern said Uzi sales have come to "the millions of dollars" since 1980. Zvt Yoram, director of Israel Military InduttriesUSA in Chevy Chase, Md., also declmed to say how much money the Israeli governm«M-run company stands to lose due to the ban. "Basically, we have to honor the decisions which have been taken, and then manage to survive," said Yoram. "I think the message is clear: If it's not good for the United States, it's also not good for us." According to Tom Hill, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the July 7 ban affecU weapons that are thought to be used for purpoMsotherthan hunting andother"«ppropri«tepur-

Guns fai I the test if they ha va a miliUry appearance, large magazine capacity or are a semiautomatic version of a machine gun. The ban thus affects both the Ui4 carbine and the Oald- type rifle, also manufactured by Israel MiliUry Indus^e. and distributed In North America by Action Artns. The Galll .22- caliber riHe is not affected by the ban, he said. The machine-gun version of the Uxl has bsen banned since 1986, saJd Hill.

Law enforcement groups and advocates of gun control hailed the govemment's announcement. They point out that the compact Uzi has become the weapon of choice for drug dealers and inner- city gangs. Other weapons manufactured by Israel Military Industries will continue to be imported and sold in the United States, including the Desert Eagle, a pistol distributed by Magnum Research in Minneapolis, and the Sirkis pistol, imported by Arms Corp. in Silver Spring, Md. Israel Military Industries has until Aug. 7 to present additional evidence as to why the government should not include the Uzi or Galil-type weapons in the ban. But speaking as the holder of the exclusive import rights to the Uzi, Stern said he is not optimistic. "It is not good news," he said of the ban. "It could be devastating as far as that particular division of IMI is concerned. It certainly has a ripple effect, and we know the shape of the Israeli economy in the first place." Stem said that it was Action Arms, owned by his fatherj Harry, which first approached the Israelis nine years ago with the idea ofmarketing a "civilian version" of their famed Uzi rifle. He said the biggest percentage of those buying the guns ara collectors, but others buy them for Urget shooting, self- defense and hunting, although their use for hunting had already-been banned in many states. Asked if he had any qualms about selling an Israelimade weapon with such a notorious repuUtion Stem said,"Absolutely none." "Initially, when you startod.you have some doubto ' he said.

Protecting your life savings By David S. Rice Certified Financial Plaimer There is a need to be properly insured for medical coverage utilizing a good Medigap policy along with Medicare and A and B. Too many seniors are unnecessarily carrying additional policies, adding hundreds Of dollars of additional expenses to their yearly income. There is one fxslicy that will add to your expenses but could save your entire estate from loss in the future - Long Term Care Plans (nursing home insurance). Of all of the insurance you have purchased in the past for your home, cars and businesses, most of the premiums were never used to collect since the odds are extremely small. The chance of using a nursing home policy is much greater, basically because we are living so much longer than we have had in the past. Medicare and the new catastrophic law does nothing to remedy this terrible situation. Look at your current health insurance portfolio. Are adequate nursing home benefits included? For most seruors, the answer is no. Fortunately, there are a number of quality nursing home products on the market today. Some of the important points to check carefully are: 1. Buy a plan that will permit you to go directly from your home to the nursing home vdthout first spending time in the hospital. 2. Be sure that the daily cash benefit will pay for all levels of care especially custodial care. 3. Be sure that coverage is for all forms of seiulity including Alzheimer's Disease.

4. Try to buy a policy that does not contain any exclusions or limitations for pre-existing conditions. 5. Be sure the policy is guaranteed renewable for life as long as premiums are paid on time. 6. Make sure benefits are paid in addition to any other insurance you may have, including Mediccire. 7. After 90 days of benefits, premiums should be waived and not be due again for as long as that nursing home stay lasts. 8. Premiums should stay the same as the day you apply. However, most companies do reserve the right to adjust future premiums for all insureds in the same premium class under the same policy form in a given state. 9. Be sure the company gives you 30 days to review the poUcy once you receive it from your agent. 10. Buy only from a highly reputable company that carries an A Excellent or A+ Superior rating by A. M. Best Compiny. The cost factors that determine your yearly premiums: 1. Your age 2. The amount of daily benefit. Mostcompalues charge so much premivun per each $10 of daily benefit. 3. A waiting period - normally 20 to 100 days. A shorter waiting p>eriod will cost considerably more. 4. How long you wish to receive benefits. The premium will vary greatly depending on plan length. David S. Rice, an Omaha Certified Financial Planner, has been in practice for the last 14 years.

Drugs, self-help aids assist arthritis sufferers Many different drugs are used in treating arthritis; some are effective only for certain people or certain diseases, reports the Arthritis Foundation, Nebraska Chapter. Some of the drugs commonly used are aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids (cortisone-like drugs), gold salts, penidllamine, an antimalarial drug and drugs that slow the immune system. "Because some people experience unpleasant side effects from specific drugs, a person should find out from his or her doctor which drugs to take," said Dr. Walter Huurman, chairman of the Medical and Scientific Committee of the Nebraska Chapter. New drugs are being tested and researched with increasing regularity. Dr. Huurman said. He added that the Arthritis Foundation is dedicated to supporting research to find the cures for and preventions of arthritis diseases and to improve the quality of life for those affected by arthritis. Independence and freedom for people with arthritis requires a little ingenuity, a lot of perseverance and self-discipline, an Arthritis Foundation reports states. 'Teople with arthritis who are under proper •medical care learn alternate ways to do things ^^nd. to maintain indejjendence," said Dr.

Huurman. "There are many exercises and treatments, each of which serves a specific need in an overall program of restoring function to joints disabled by arthritis. Self-help devices can also help compensate for loss of function that cannot be restored." Specific h-eatments must be prescribed for the individual by his or her own physician, because no two people with arthritis are exacdy alike. "But, the doctor alone can't accomplish the desired results simply by prescribing treatment, "Dr. Huurman said. "The real work is up to the person with arthritis, since he or she will probably have to live with arthritis for years—possibly even for life—the prescribed ti-eabnent plan must be followed faithfully, day in and day out, as long as the disease fjersists." For people who have severe disabilities, there are many self-help devices which can restore a large amount of self-suffidency. Some items are commercially available at discount and department stores; mail order houses stock many more. The Arthritis Foundation, Ne« braska Chapter can direct people to many of these sources.

Parsow family deals with heart disease By Amy Friedman

IS WORTH

American Heart Association Commtmications Director Whaf s the number one killer in America? Millions of people believe it's cancer. They're wrong. Cardiovascular disease holds that deadly distinction. In fact, in 1986, heart and blood vessel diseases killed nearly one million Americans, almost as many as cancer, accidents, and all other causes of 'death combined. More than one in four Americans suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease. Yet it is often underestimated as a disease of the elderly. Carol and Alan Parsow and their three children know better. Josh, 11, Danny, 10, and Michael, 7, all have high cholesterol levels. High concentrations of certain types of fat-like substances (cholesterol) in the blood increase a person's chances of developing heart disease at an early age. Six years ago when Alan Parsow was 33 he suffered a heart attack. "When I married Alan I knew his family had a history of heart disease. He always kidded that he wouldn't make it to 40 but when vou're 20 that seems like such a long way away," Carol Parsow said.

Luckily over the last ten years deaths due to coronary heart disease have declined by almost 25%. Alan is one of the grov^ng number of survivors. Still, heart attack reremains the leading cause of death in America today. This year as many as 1,500,000 Americans will have a heart attack and more than 500,000 of them will die. TheParsows try to overcome such gloomy statistics by trying to reduce their cholesterol levels through diet and exercise. Carol has cut down on fats in the foods she prepares and adds more foods with fiber. "I use a number of cookbooks that promote heart-healthy diets including an American Heart Association cookbook that was given to us as a present when Alan had a heart attack." Carol also plans to get the AHA's newest cookbook, the first designed specifically for people who want to lower their blood cholesterol. The American Heart Association Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cookbook was released to bookstores just last month. Some of the simple changes Carol made in the family diet involve switching from 2% to skim milk and using a margarine wiik sun(Continued on next page)

Oat bran muffins, banana bread, or homemade. fat-reduced cookies have replaced packaged deserts. Anyone who frequents the Jewish Conununity Center can attest that the Parsows have made exercise part of their daily routine. Carol leads the pack with a daily swim, walk, bike or climb on the stair-master machine. Alan usually bikes for 40 minutes four times a week. The boys do their share of exercise as well. Danny recently won an award at his school for

doing a 20 minute aerobic activity three times a week for six weeks. The Parsows believe their commitment to exercise has helped them better handle stress. Some scientists have noted a relationship between risk for coronary heart disease and stress. Carol has no doubt about that relationship. "Alan had his heart attack one month after we learned that Danny had cancer. I have no doubt that stress contributed to his heart attack." Danny has been cancer-free since 1984 and Alan has lowered his cholesterol level through medication and diet. The family plans to keep its good health well into the future. As an American Heart Association slogan reads: "Death is forever. Heart disease doesn't have to be."

Research breakthrough could impact on disease treatment ^ars in the June 9,1989 issue of

A researcher at the University of Nebraska Medical Center has dis covered an autoantibody that could help revolutionize health care. In August 1988, Sudhir Paul, Ph.D., assistant professor of phar macology and biochemistry, dis' covered an autoantibody which fimctions as both an enzyme and an antibody. The discovery of this autoantibody (called an autoabzyme or catalytic antibody) could pave the way to new therapies to stop the progression of AIDS, cancer and a variety of other diseases. Dr. Paul,„j,,. says . The breakthrough has been deSCTibed and annotated in an article entitled, "Catalytic Hydrolysis of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide by Human Autoantibody," and ap-

Science Why is his finding significant? "Until now, the chemicafreactions of antibodies and enzymes were considered separate from each other," Dr. Paul says. "Antibodies bind with proteins; enzymes break proteins. We found an antibody that fimctions as an enzyme." This autoantibody Dr. Paul discovered, called an autoabzyme can ~- '^" '' and' then • recognize, bind' with break specific proteins. "This autoabzyme breaks the neurotransmitter called vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)," Dr. Paul says. "SinceVlP is a growth factor for cancer cells, the autoabzyme could arrest tumor formation. In addition, the autoabzyme may help in treating AIDS because a

VIP-like molecule is involved in this infection." The autoabzyme is the first antibody observed to break a peptide bond. Dr. Paul says. "Theabzyme can break dovm about 16 VIP molecules per minute. Finding these autoabzymes paves the way to their application as new therapeutic agents for human disease." A patent application has been submitted to the United States Patent office to protect Dr. Paul's idea and give UNMC credit for the project. Dr. Paul's work has inspired Igen, Inc., a biotechnology firm in Rockwell, Md., to initiate and sign a $100,000 a year, threeyear contract with UNMC "The money from the confract will allow us to test the promise of these autoabzymnes on campus,"

Dr. Paul says. He and Dr. Donald Johnson will be working in cooperation on the project. Dr. Johnson is associate professor of pathology/microbiology at UNMC and operates a biotechnology lab on campus. "TTie staff and facilities in Dr. Johnson's lab help produce monoclonal autoabzymes," Dr. Paul says. "Eventually, we wiU clone the gene for the autoabzyme so that we can count on a continuous supply for our research. "Now we vfill start researching ways to use the process for a variety of diseases like cancer, AIDS, diabetes and asthma," continued Dr. Paul. He hopes to see his research being applied clinically within the next 10 years.

Myths and misconceptions about facial plastic surgery spite better and better coverage of surgical topics in the press, there are still soote popular misconceptions about facial plastic surgery, according to Dr. Steven M. Denenberg, facial plastic surgeon. Dr. Denenoerg explores some of those myths: Myth: After Inave a face life, I'm locked into having more surgery later. Fact: A face life does not make the face age more quickly. The operation reduces the signs of aging, after which the face will mature at a normal rate. Although it is possible to repeat a face lift when the signs of aging return, it is not necessary, and me person will usually always look better than had they not had the operation. Myth: A face lift will give me an artificial, rocket-sled, "plastic" look. Fact: In a well-designed face lift, it is not the skin that is pulled and put under tension. It is the supporting tissues underneath that are repositioned, and the skin itself is not stretched tightly when the incisions are dosed. By tightening the supporting tissues and not the skin, one can achieve a great deal of improvement without an unnatural look. Myth: If I have my nose done, the doctor is going to break it. Fact: The doctor does not break your nose. If the nose needs to be narrowed to mcike it more attractive, an incision is made in the bones so that they can be placed closer together. This part of the operation takes about 30 seconds, and most people don't even notice or remember it, even under local anesthesia.

Mylk: Having my eyes done will get rid of those awful little wrinkles on my lower eyelids. Fact: Lower eyelid surgery removes bulges and bags and excess skin, but it will not remove the fine wrii\kles. TVying to stretch the lower eyelid skin too tightly can interfere with the important delicate function of the eyelid. Wrinkles are improved with a chemical peel, performed three to four months after eyelid surgery. Myth: If s easy to find a facial plastic surgeon. Just see if he is board-certified. Fact: Surgeons are just like anybody else. Each has a different level of skill and different areas of interest and expertise. To select your surgeon, see if you can develop a comfortable rapport with him. See if he will show you some of his work'— for example, you want to know if his idea of an attractive nose is exactly the same as yours. During surgery, you want to rest assured that any decision he makes is the same that you woiud make. See if your doctor will patiently explain the entire process and answer all your questions. You may even want to ask for the names of a few people he has operated on so that you can get a firsthand accovmt. Remember that the operation does not have to be done tomorrow. If you are not satisfied, go interview another facial plastic surgeon. You are deciding who to hire. Take your time. If you have a question on fadal plastic surgery for Dr. Denenberg, you may write him at his office. Please mention that you read this artide in the Jewish Press.

CHAD - Partners in health in Nebraska

k.le Combined Health Agencies Drive,

CHAD, was established 17 years ago in Nebraska to solicit funds eind to provide public health education on behalf of its member agencies. The.fifth Combined Health Campaign in the nation has grown dramatically and has long been seen as a role model for others. Curt Gordon, executive director, said. The Nebraska CHAD organization,has enjoyed a 99 percent inaease in contributions since 1978 and, most importantly, the member agencies have realized a 140 percent increase 'in their CHAD distribution of funds. During , the same period, six new agencies were added as members of the organization, Mr. Gordon said. Mr. Gordon pointed out that a Combined health Appeal offers member health agencies

a centralized, cost-effective way of obtaining contributions vrithin the business community and among employee groups of Indus try, state, and local governments and that the average fund raising costs of a Combined Health Appeal are significantly lower than the fund raising costs of an individual agency's campaign. CHAD member agencies include: Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Council, Alzheimer's Association, American Diabetes Association, American Lung Association, Arthritis Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Easter Seal Society, Epilepsy Association, Mental Health Association, Multiple Sclerosis Society, MusciUar Dystrophy Association, National Kidney Foundation, NCA Omaha, and Society to Prevent Blindness.

Eating out can be healthy For many people, dining in or out will never be the same. The words diet, sugar-free s cholesterol are on almost everyone's tongue and what goes into their stomachs has become of utmost importance. Whether it be lunch or dinner, restaurant patrons seems to favor lighter entrees along with the preparation done with the 'So-called" proper ingredients, according to Jack Churchill, proprietor and head chef at Qaudia's Restauriant. Chicken has always been a jxjpular menu item but fish is surely catching up and

both must be prepared well with the health conscious patron in mind, Mr. Churchill said. Fresh fruits and vegetables are used more than ever and the quality of the fixing has become more important than the quantity. Mr. Churchill said he reinforces his findings with a versatile menu as well as the ability to prepare on sight requests tailored to specific diets. He said acknowledging in his restaurant fare the change in American eating habits can only enhance the pleasure of those patrons who are intent of changing their dining habits.

Phil Sokolof can't help gloating. On a recent morning his phone never stopped ringing. If it wasn't reporters from Newsweek or People , it was executives from Ralston Purina or General Mills or Nabisco; most of the food executives were returning his calls. Heady stuff for a 66-year-old grandfather from Omaha who says he is "Joe Blow frpm Podunk." Not quite. He's a self-made millionaire who over thepastSO years built Phillips Manufacturing Company from a one-man outfit into a tremendously successful metal manufacturing business. Along the way, he found time to become a life master bridge player and to vmte a bridge newspaper coliunn. Now he has methodically taken on the foods giants, using $2 million of his own money in the effort to ^et them to change recipes for their products, making them lower in satiirated fats and thus helping Americans to control their cholesterol. He blasted them in full-page

newspaper ads in such publications as the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times and USA Today. Sokolof accused the food companies of "poisoning" Americans DV using coconut oil and palm oil in their manufacturing process, both of which are very high in saturated fats, raising cholesterol levels. "Your life may be at stake" the ads warned. "...E)o not buy products containing coconut oil and palm oil." These tropical oils have been "widely used in coiximerdal foods to enhance taste and increase shelf life. Sokolof chose the loaded wording for the ads himself and refused to change it, even when some newspapers refused to run the ad as it was written. To make sure readers got the point, products that are staples in million of kitchens were pictured: Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers. Sunshine Hydrox cookies, Kellogg's Cracklin' Oat Bran cereal and Keebler's Club crackers, among them. Gleefully, Soklolof noted that people have begun to liken him to (Continued on next page)

"I say if I'm David the only thing in my slingshot is the truth," he said between phone calls. Here, it seems, is a genuine dogooder, albeit one wi3i a flair for the dramatic, who has the money to back his convictions and whose efforts are working. Since Sokolof began his national ad campaign last October, 12 major fooci companies have reported they no longer will use tropical oils in their products. Some say plans were m the works before Sokolof's ads appeared, through many acknowledge that the campaign hastened their actions.

Current techniques in reconstructive surgery Dr. David R. Finkle Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Breast reconstructive techniques have changed dramatically over the past five years. Few^er than 10 percent of all v^romen who have had mastectomies for breast carcinoma had reconstructive surgery 10 years ago, now, 3040 percent of all women undergoing mastectonues have some form of breast reconstruction. In the past the reconstructive techniques were somewhat crude and involved multiple operations and prolonged hospitalization. With modern techniques most of the procedures are performed on an outpatient basis and with excellent results. Even though the recreation of a normal breast is not possible, it is possible to achieve normalcy in all types of clothing including bathing suits. Reconstruction usually proceeds in a series of two or three operations and may even be initiated at the time of the mastectomy for the treatment of the cancer. The most common form of treatment is now the placement of a tissue expander, or a balloon, underneath the chestwall muscle. Once the breast mound is created and symmetry is achieved, then the last step is creation of nipple and areola. Nipple and areola reconstruction has changed dramatically over the past two years. Most itipples now are reconstructed just with the local tissue.

There are other methods to rebuild breasts, these include removing portions of skin and muscle from the back and also from the abdomen, a so-called "tiunmy-tuck," breast reconstruction. This operation is a little more involved than a tissue expander, but does not involve the use of any breast implants. The improvement in the psychological wellbeing of a woman who had had her breast reconstructed following ablative surgery has been proved in multiple articles. Itdoesapn pear that all women are candidates for the surgery, regardless of their prognosis. The operation is now accepted and is covered by all major insurance carriers. .

Chiropractic acceptance shows improvement According to chiropractic practitioner G.E. Haynes, D.C., A.B.C.O., chiropractors have progressed from lack of acceptance to become the second largest health profession. The "hard earned acceptance has been won by health results to the most skeptical new patients" through methods oriented to the restoration of natural function to the body systems. Dr. Haynes states, principally by the return of the normal control by the nervous system in moiutoring and moderating Itody and mental function without drugs or surgery.

Proper footwear, care of feet important to good health

The Jewish Press thanlu the following adver tiMra for their participation in the aecond annual L'Chaim To Lift—Healthy Living Supplement:

Summer is a time for a variety of activities — traveling, sv^imming, picnics and all sorts of participative sports. Dr. Robert J. Hiikemann of the Foot Health Center has a few tips to keep your feet healthy and enable you to more fully enjoy those summer activities. If your plans call for a lot of w^alking. Dr. Hiikemann suggests wearing comfortable shoes vkdth crepe soles and soft leather or similar material uppers. Women should wear heels of not more than 1 1/2 inches, he adds. Walking shoes without "waffle" soles, beof their light weight and cushioning, are both comfortable and functional and make wonderful travel companions, he said. If you will be doing more walking than usual, condition yourself by walking for several weeks before your trip to develop leg muscles and cardiovascular conditioning. And never start a trip with a new pair of shoes; break them in as well. Elevate your feet on a foot stool with legs outstretched at the end of a busy day, says Dr. Hiikemann. Soaking them in lukewarm water with a gentle soap may also be beneficial. In addition, stockings can help prevent blisters. Wearing thongs or similar foot covers when using public showers and swimming pools can help prevent warts, athletes foot or other communicable diseases of the foot. Protect

your feet from glass, nails, tlioms or similar objects by always using some type of footwear, Dr. Hiikemann suggests. More people than ever before are realizing the importance of weairing proper fitting, supportive footwear, according to Terry Shevchenko of Comfort Plus Shoe Center. Since we have become a "sidewalk civilization," our feet are increasingly developing corns, calluses, bunions, heel spurs and other painful maladies, Ms. Shevchenko says. More severe foot disorders can occur for diabetics and arthritics, persons with congenital foot deformities and injuries of the feet. Special programs have been developed to relieve these problems including soft mserts formed to the feet and held in place by specially designed shoes or boots. Proper support devices and shoes have also been known to relieve ankle, knee, hip and back pain by balancing the posture and giving the body a more solid foundation. Supportive shoes and appliances for severe problems may be prescrioed by the medical profession and are dispensed by professionals called pedorthists. Ms. Shevchenko points out that the newly opened Comfort Plus Shoe Center has a team of Board Certified pedorthists and offers a wide variety of comfortable footwear and related devices.

The commission, chaired by Professor Albin Eser, director of the Freiburgbased Max Planck Institute, said Tuebingen University persisted in using microscopic tissue samples. The commission said it could not establish the exact number of samples from victims of Nazism, but demanded that the samples be buried and the practice abandoned. The use of samples taken in Nazi experiments was exposed in January by the state-owned ARD television network. The investigatory commission was established in April. The administrators of three of West German universities mentioned by ARD said they knew of no tissue samples of Nazi victims at their institutions. The fourth school, Tuebingen, said two microscopic samples from its anatomy collection had been withdrawn. According to Cham-

cellor Georg Sandberger, the ARD report was grossly exaggerated. But the news media, especialljl Israeli reporters who pursued the ARD report, wrote later that the universities mentioned had used body parts from victims of the Nazis, including Jews, Communists, handicapped and mentally ill people and so-called criminals.

Soviet travel WASHINGTON (JTA)The Union of Councils for Soviet Jews has asked the U.S. State Department to look into niBW Soviet travel regulations that it says thwart travel by Soviets abroad. The group says the restrictions, which went into effect July 1, could cut down substantially on the numHer of Soviet Jews able to travel to Israel. According to the new regulations, ordered by the Soviet Aviation and Finance ministries, Soviet citizens can no longer purchase tickets on the state carrier Aeroflot for destinations beyond its normal service area, unless they use hard, or non-Soviet, currency.

Egyptian, Israeii speal( to Hadassah By Richard Bono Atlanta Jewish Times ATLANTA - An Egyptian call for Israel to grant Palestinians freedom was met here with Israeli condemnation of the role of the Palestine Liberation Organization in undermining that very effort. "The PLO is against the elections," said Moshe Arad, Israel's ambassador to the United States. "It is against the nature of a terrorist orgemization to hold elections and the PLO leadership has never held one." The election plan, proposed in May by Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, is Israel's peace initiative to the Palestinians, Arad said in response to his Egyptian counterpart. El Sayed Abdel Raouf el-Reedy. Ambassadors Arad and el-Reedy spoke July 16 in Atlanta at the 75th national convention of Hadassah, the women's Zionist organization of America. More than 2,000 convention delegates gathered to hear the ambassadors exchange dialogue on achieving peace in the Middle East. But it was more dogma than dialogue between the two men. Arad stood fast in his praise for Israel's peace initiative, while el-Reedy— seldom referring to the plan—put the onus of Middle East peace squarely on Israel's shoulders. 'The West Bank and Gaza Strip account for no more than 20 percent of Palestine." el-Reedy said. "For the Palestinians to be able to establish a home here and govern themselves is not asking for the moon. On what legal and moral grounds can they be denied that right?" He called on Israel to "accept the legitimate political and human rights" of the Palestinians by acknowledging their "legitimate national aspirations." ElReedy refuted Arad's contention that the PLO has rejected the Shamir election plan for the Palestinians. "The idea of the elections is being considered" by the PLO, he said. But Arad hammered repeatedly on the point that the PLO, not Israel, is obstructing peace. "I know Ambassador el-Reedy says

The Offutt House

it in good faith that what the Pedestinians need is freedom and equality," Arad said. "I don't know why the idea of elections does not and cannot offer the Palestinians an avenue to reach those legitimate political and human rights we hear so much about." The PLO fears free elections in the occupied territories, Arad said, because they threaten PLO control of the area. It is control the PLO will kill to keep, according to Arad. Looking el-Reedy in the eye and waving his hand for emphasis, Arad said, "It is not accidental that about half the victims of the violence in the West Bank and Gaza the last few months were killed by PLO squads, not by Israelis. The assassinations are guided by the PLO leadership in order to destroy every possible opposition to their leadership." Arad called it "sheer hypocrisy" for the PLO to blame recent Likud resolutions as a basis to forestall the election and negotiation process. "It is characteristic of the hypocrisy and doubletalk of the PLO that it now tries to exploit the Likud resolution as a basis for a strident rejection of the Israeli peace proposal, which they never accepted anyhow." Likud wants the election plan to be amended to say that no Palestinian state would ever be established and that Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza would continue to be built. Arad stressed that the recent resolutions from Israel's Likud bloc does not change his government's position. "What Likud decided is binding upon Likud," Arad said. El-Reedy stopped at one point during his 30-minute speech when Hadassah delegates to the convention loudly dis^proved of his statement that Palestinians have "accepted Israel in their hearts and minds."

By Henry Stern At the July 11 Earlybirds, moderator Norm Komey informed us that barrister Jack Marer has become a life member of Old Timers. Norm's subjects were Supreme Court decisions on Roe vs. Wade on abortion, flag burning, menorahs and Christmas trees and the creche, and civil rights issues. The group concurred that flag burning was a desecration, and abhorrent to all; politicians will have to take a stand on abortion, win or lose the next election. Onward to a delicious luncheon, with dear Mollie back with us. Motzi by Maitre'D Danny Greenfield, Benschen by Art Goldstein. Sam Rosenstein thanked the servers and presented Art Sherman from Tucson, and Lou Rubin, from Chicago and guest of Harry Seiner. Donations to the Mitzvah Box were made by Ben Simon, Gerald and Lois Bernstein honoring their engaged son and a new granddaughter. We stood in memoriam for our lat€ brother, Meyer Ruback. Norm Wohlner reported that Harty Spiegel and Cantor Edgar are at Clarkson and Morrie Newman is at Bergan-Mercy. Vice president Harry Schulman presented guest speaker Menachem Mor, professor of Judaic studies at Creight<Hi University and

holder of the Philip Klutznick chair. Dr. Mor gave us a rundown on Israel's problems, of which we are aware, but it was a refreshing review of what is taking place. He told us the media has made few reports of how Assad of Syria has taken over Lebanon, is destroying Christian Beirut, on the wars between Israel and millions of Arabs who are trying to destroy Israel, how Arafat and the PLO cannot guarantee Israel's safety, how Israeli Arabs are subject to assassination if they cooperate with Israel. Unlike China, where unarmed young people are trying to establish a democracy, in Israel terroristtraiiied molotov cocktail and rock-throwing youngsters are trying to.overthrow a democracy, since the ruling feudal Arabs will not tolerate an Americantype democracy.

revoking kosher certification is necessary. One answer offered by the attorney for the Religious Council is that a mashgiach (kaahrut supervisor) could not be in the dining room of a hotel while the "abomination" of belly dancing was taking place. The case is less frivolous than it may appear and could test the broiad power the Chief Rabbinate and religious councils exert over buainees and social life in Israel.

By Hugh Qrgei TEL AVIV <JTA) - The cost-of-living index rose by 1.2 percent in June, UM highest June increase in two years. The figures were announced Friday by the Central Bureau of Statistics, which said the index has risen by 12 percent during the first half of 1989. That means that if prices continue to rise by the some rate for the rest of the year, inflation could approach 25 percent, dramatically higher than the single^ligit figure predicted at the beginning of the year by Finance Minister Shimon Peres.. But Peres said that the price risee should not be seen as inflationary but rather the result of an overdue devaluation of the Israeli 'hf^tfi)
