Saul Bellow Isn't Won Over Author Rejects Self-Praise Threat By Henry Kissinger

Israel Wins 32 Golds At Disabled Olympics

NEW YORK - One of the most trenchant and harsh criticisms of Henry Kissinger from any Jewish source has appeared in two very long articles by author Saul Bellow in The New Yorker Magazine. He accused with only minor subtlety the Secretary of State of trying to convince him that he was Israel’s chief protector, and that American Jews are letting themselves be used as lobbyists for Israel. BELLOW SAID that Kissinger believes that in the event of an Israeli defeat, American Jews “too will get it in the neck." Bellow had spent time with Kissinger while a guest of the Israeli government and was in remodeled apartments where

Funds Lacking For BB Garden JERUSALEM - B’nai B’rith failure to come up with its promised funds for the project of the garden outside the walls of the Old City which it had announced at its last convention may lead to a halt in the extensive digging thus far. Only $130,000 has been forthcoming 19 months after the start of the project of a planned $1 million over a three-year period. Mayor Kollek told The Jerusalem Post that the digging would have to be interrupted unless the funds are forthcoming. The seven-acre project has been most successful in one dimension though. So much of archaeological value has been uncovered by the excavations that the garden, if completed, would expose three times as much of the city wall as is visible today.

Jerusalem at Shaananim, the notables are invited to spend a few months in Israel’s capital. “In this warmth, however,” Bellow wrote about Kissinger, “there are icy spots — a scattering of threats which he perhaps has the habit of making when talking to American Jews: They had better understand that in letting themselves be used as lobbyists by Israel’s leaders they are helping neither Israel nor themselves “IN THE DISASTROUS event of Israel’s defeat they too wall get it in the neck. So they had better stop making so much noise in Washington and undermining their chief protector. Henry Kissinger.” Bellow pointed out that Kissinger "doesn’t say these things

in so many words. He is a man of some culture for he hasn’t divested himself of that appearance) and a serious student of history and politics . . .” But the novelist does make the point that this is what Kissinger believes — an impression other American Jewish leaders have also received from private meetings with the secretary. DURING THE MEETING, Kissinger also tried to show how “he has stood between Israel and its enemies in the American government. When he (Kissingeri steps down, and he must step down soon, he will be missed by the very people who now assail him” — that is the impression Kissinger tried to convey in an effort “to convince me of his warmth."

How Rabbi Was Inveialed Into Old-Fashioned Revival

KNOXVILLE. TENN. - His resentment at having been inveigled into attending what was in effect a revival led by Anita Bryant of the orange juice commercials was expressed by Rabbi Matthew I. Darby, of

Temple Beth El here.

THE RABBI expressed some hesitancy when invited to the Dogwood Arts Festival Prayer Breakfast, but was assured that the event was going to be a true inter-community function. His misgivings were allayed also by his colleagues and the local professionals who urged him to accept the invitation. “I know not what briefing was given Miss Bryant,” he wmote in his temple bulletin, “but her comments about her personal life and her faith were blatantly ‘Christian witnessing’ and I found myself as a Jew and as

TORONTO - Although Israel’s showing in the recent Olympics at Montreal was dismal, when it came to the Olympics for the disabled here where determination is as much a factor as anything else, the showing by Israel is not only quite creditable but outstanding. The Israelis have won 32 gold medals, and added eight silver and five bronze for a total 45 in all. In the 100-meter free style, Uri Bergman of Kibbutz Givat

Brenner broke the world's record. Pushing him was an Egyptian who won second place. As they left the pool, they shook hands.

fundamental revival.”

AS THOSE on the dais were passing Miss Bryant, she asked his comments, prefacing the request with, “I’m glad you’re here, as Jesus, my Lord, was also a Jew." Rabbi Darby remarked that she had made him feel like an outcast in his own community and that he

regretted having come.

He concluded that “whether or not an apology is due the Jewish community, suffice it to say, none has been received."
