Aliza's Death
Assembly Stunned;
Tears Among Police
Dogs, Bomb Squads
By MURRAY ZUCKOFF
(JTA) It was to have
been a triumphal reception
for Premier Menachem
Begin. More than 2,000
Jewish leaders, activists
and guests crowded into
the main ballroom of the
Bonaventure Hotel last
week to Celebrate with
the Premier the 50th Anni-
versary General Assembly
of the Council of Jewish
Federations. But it was not
to be.
Shortly before Begin was to
address the Assembly, his wife,
Aliza, died in Jerusalem. He im-
mediately flew back to Israel.
News of Mrs. Begin's death
spread like wildfire. At first there
was incredulity and disbelief,
someone was spreading a rumor,
it just couldn't be. Then as the
news sank in, a pall descended
over the audience. Some choked
back tears at the news of this un-
expected tragedy; others let go
and cried.
PRESIDENT REAGAN tele-
phoned Begin in Los Angeles to
express his deepest sympathy. A
White House spokesman said
Reagan's planned meeting with
Begin at the White House next
Friday would be cancelled or re-
The entire four-day Assembly
which began last Wednesday had
been geared emotionally and psy-
chologically to Begins appear-
ance and address, his first to a
Jewish audience in the United
States since the war in Lebanon.
The mood of the delegates was to
give Hegin a rousing welcome,
despite the differences many had
with his policies, to show the face
and the force of Jewish solidarity

Coming Days Crucial?______
Why Begin Warned Egypt of Military Retaliation
JERUSALEM (ZINS) During the war in Leba-
non, Premier Menachem Begin had warned Egypt that a
severance of diplomatic ties with Israel could lay it open
to military retaliation on the grounds that Egypt had
violated the Camp David agreement, Opposition Labor
Party Chairman Shimon Peres states in a radio interview.
He said that the coming 100 days would be decisive for
domestic policies and would either produce a new coali-
tion, or a bill for early elections.
Likud MK Ronnie Milo said in a radio interview that
the coalition will have difficulty keeping itself together
during the winter Knesset session. He added that the
loyalty of some of the Likud partners particularly the reli-
gious parties, was questionable.

CJF Assembly Stunned Amid Tears

with the State of Israel.
There had been rumors since
the Assembly convened that
some of the local Jewish com-
munity leaders and even some of
the CJF leaders had not wanted
Begin to come to the Assembly at
this time. These rumors, as it
turned out, were entirely un-
founded. But it fed the morbid
curiosity of the general media
covering the Assembly and
helped spice their copy with so-
called behind the scenes develop-
ments. The real story the soli-
darity with the State of Israel, its
people and its Premier was ap-
parently considered dull, routine,
back of the paper news.
BEGIN ARRIVED here Fri
day afternoon and was greeted at
the Los Angeles International
Airport by Mayor Tom Bradley
who gave Begin the keys to the
city. The Premier, who was ac-
companied by his younger
daughter Leah, Ambassador
Moshe Arens, his chief of staff,
Yehiel Kadishai, and his personal
physician, Marvin Gottesman.
stayed at the Century Plaze
Hotel, some distance from the
Bonaventure where Begin was to
By midday Saturday, the
Bonaventure was a virtual for-
tress as U.S. secret service, Is-
raeli security, and hotel security
personnel, along with city police,
swarmed all over the area of the
ballroom. For more than an hour,
before people were allowed into
the ballroom, members of the po-
lice bomb squad, with specially
trained dogs, searched the area
for any hidden weapons and ex-
plosives. Dinner guests, dele-
gates and reporters had to go
through security gates like those
at airports.
Across the street from the
hotel, several hundred pro-Pales-
tinian old line left wingers and
anti-Khomeini demonstrators
carried placards and chanted slo-
gans denouncing Israel and
Ik'gin. They continued their up-
roar even after police informed
them that Begin would not be at
the hotel.
The demonstrators were kept
behind a solid line of oil drums
and a phalanx of mounted police.
Meanwhile, as people began to
filter into the ballroom, a group
of Flamenco costumed
troubadors serenaded diners in e
pool-side restaurant on the floor
below with Spanish folk songs
and a lusty rendition in Hebrew
of "Sholom Aleichem."
BEFORE THE official Assem-
bly banquet proceeding began,
the audience stood up for a
minute of silence as the news of
Mrs. Begin s death was an-
nounced from the podium. Arens,
who received standing ovations
at the beginning and conclusion
of his address, recounted some of
"the scars we in Israel bear from
the terrorists coming out of
Lebanon" before Israel launched
its "Peace for Galilee" operation.
He said that Israel's operation
had smashed the PLO infrastruc-
ture, thereby striking a blow for
peace in the region. Nevertheless,
Arens observed, Israel was
"criticized, vilified, calumnied
and judged" by the nations of the
world, and "we were subjected to
snap judgments" by the media
and its audiences. Much of what
the media related about Israel's
operation in Lebanon turned out
to be baseless, he said.
Arens was critical of "those
who counsel us to make conces-
sions.',' He declared that "the
wages of weakness in the Middle
East is destruction."
The achievements of the war in
Lebanon, he pointed out, in-
cluded peace for northern Israel.
"Children are going to school,
men and women are going to
work and the shelters are empty
for the first time, and that's how
it's going to be," he said to a
round of applause.
THE AMBASSADOR also re-
counted other achievements of
the war in Lebanon and each
achievement was greeted with a
round of applause. He noted that
Lebanon is now rising from seven
years of warfare and occupation
and that a new page is turning
"in the tragic history of that
country. Hopefully, Lebanon will
join the world democratic com-
munity and also be at peace with
Furthermore, the Soviet effort
to penetrate the Mideast in-
exorably has been thwarted and
its presumed superiority in mili-
tary weapons was bested by the
Israel Defense Force, Arens
noted. In addition, he said Is-
rael's operation in Lebanon is
now also perceived by the U.S. as
having aided the U.S. in the Mid-
Arens asserted that despite the
strained relations between the
U.S. and Israel in recent weeks,
the bonds of friendship between
the two countries have been
strengthened. Israel, he said,
would like to live in harmony
with the U.S. "but we are realis-
tic and know there are disagree-
ments" including differences over
U.S. arms to Arab states, and de-
mands on Israel for "territorial
But the Ambassador expressed
optimism that peace is achievable
and that, as a result of the des-
truction of the PLO's infrastruc-
ture there will be Palestinians
and Jordan who will eventually
enter into the peace process.
In Spirit of Adenauer
Kohl Says He'll Visit Israel
By DAVID KANTOR
BONN (JTA) West
Germany's new Chancellor,
Helmut Kohl, has a sympa-
thetic attitude toward Is-
rael, according to Knesset
Speaker Menachem Savi-
dor who met with the Ger-
man leader last week. "He
told me he wanted to renew
the tradition of good rela-
tions started by Konrad
Adenauer, and I am sure
that he seriously meant ex-
actly that," Savidor told a
press conference here.
He said Kohl will definitely
visit Israel next year, but the
timing has yet to be decided. It
will not take place before West

Nevertheless, the Likud MK said
he discussed with the Chancellor
the itinerary and the issues that
will be raised at political talks
with Kohl in Jerusalem.
ASKED IF Premier Mena-
chem Begin is likely to get an in-
vitation to come to Bonn, Savi-
dor said it was too early to talk
about that. "Right now we are in
a stage of preparations for Kohl's
visit. Let us first concentrate on
According to Savidor, the
basic philosophy of the new Bonn
government, a coalition of Kohl's
Christian Democratic Union
(CDUI and the smaller Free
Democratic Party (FDP), favors
good relations with Israel. He
suggested that ties between the
two countries are likely to be
"closer than under the previous
Social Democratic government"
headed by Chancellor Helmut
Savidor said he did not discuss
with Kohl specifically the issue of
West German arms sales to Arab
countries. "What we did discuss
was the need for the western
world to see to it that no sophis-
ticated weapons will fall into the
hands of unreliable dictator-
ships." He said the issue of Jew-
ish settlements on the West Bank
was not raised during his talk
with Kohl. He claimed however
that the Chancellor largely shares
the Israeli view that the war in
Lebanon was essentially bene-
f ficial to peace prospects in the
Middle East and for the West.

Timetable for Lebanon Talks
Advanced Following Funeral
By DAVID LANDAU
The timetable for talks
between Israel and
Lebanon over the with-
drawal of Israeli and other
foreign forces from that
country and future security
arrangements have been
upset by Premier Mena-
chem Begin's return to Jer-
usalem from the U.S. for
the funeral of his wife,
Aliza, who died early this
Officials here could not offer a
possible timetable for the im-
pending talks. They have been
delayed until now because of wide
differences between the Israelis
and Lebanese over the character
and level of the negotiations. A
breakthrough had been expected
after Begin's meeting with Presi-
dent Reagan in Washington this
week. That meeting, scheduled
for next Friday, has been deferr-
ed, and no new date was an-
Yitzhak Shamir told the Cabinet
today that because of the turn of
events, Reagan's special envoy to
the Middle East, Philip Habib,
will not come to the region im-
mediately. He had been
scheduled to leave immediately
after Begin's discussions with the
President and Secretary of State
George Shultz. It is not known
now when Habib will arrive,
Shamir said, but meanwhile talks
continue with special envoy
Morris Draper who has been
mediating between the Israelis
and Lebanese for the past two
Shamir briefed the Cabinet on
what he called "intensive
preparatory contacts" with
Lebanese officials through
Draper. Energy Minister Yitzhak
Modai told reporters later that
Shamir had indicated "progress"
was made.
Accor4tag to reports here,
Israel is now ready to drop its
earlier demand that the talks
with Lebanon be held on the min-
isterial level so as to accentuate
their political nature. It is
prepared to have both delega-
tions headed by senior civil
servants. The Israeli choice, in
that case, would probably be
David Kimche, director general
of the Foreign Ministry.
BUT AS of last week the
Lebanese were insisting that
military men head the delega-
tions though they were willing to
appoint some ranking civilians to
their negotiating team.

Aliza Begin's Passing
Under any circumstances, the death of a wife of
nearly half a century is a profoundly sad occurrence.
In the case of Aliza Begin, the implications of her
passing go beyond her marriage relationship to a
Prime Minister of Israel.
Surely, Mr. Begin will suffer inordinate sorrow
complicated by feelings of guilt that he was not at his
beloved Aliza's side when she died last weekend. He
had gone on a ten-day tour of the United States
spurred by her assurance that she was all right, that
the tour was of supreme importance, and that she
would await his return.
And yet, when aides came to Mr. Begin's suite
in a Los Angeles hotel to announce the sad event, he
said simply, "I know. She is dead." To what extent
this sense of guilt will help the Prime Minister
through his bereavement is yet to be determined.
But in the background lie complicated matters:
the ongoing commission of inquiry into the Sabra
and Shatila massacre; the tragic occurrence in Tyre,
where near 90 Israelis lost their lives in the explosion
that brought Israeli military command headquarters
in southern Lebanon to the ground; the worsening
relationships with Egypt; and U .S. President
Reagan's determination to see a freeze on Israeli
settlements on the West Bank.
To this must be added Mr. Begin's clear
awareness that the United States, his country's only
ally, is now grimly determined to squeeze Israel back
into its pre-1967 borders. Let alone the fact that his
"Operation for Peace" in Lebanon has, from a public
relations point of view, boomeranged disastrously to
portray Israel as the mindless invader of an other-
wise "peace-prone" Arab nation.
There can be little doubt that Aliza Begin, a
severe asthmatic, did not react well to the scorn and
contumely heaped upon her husband as Prime
Minister, and that her health may have been sorely
compromised by this. Add to it his sense of guilt
that, fearing the worst, he had nevertheless left her
side so that his wife died without his presence, and it
is not possible to say just what Mr. Begin will do in
the months ahead.
Grief is a strange thing, and despite current
assurances to the contrary, the world Jewish com-
munity should not be surprised if the Prime Minister
packs it all in.
Will Andropov be Better?
The death of Leonid Brezhnev at the age of 75
by all expectation was to launch a struggle for power
behind the Kremlin walls. Instead, in a mere matter
of days, the Soviet Union had a new leader, Yuri
It does seem to us that the alleged outpouring of
Russian feeling at the death of Mr. Brezhnev was
largely staged. People were literally rounded up and
lined up in Moscow to wait their turn to pass by the
bier and pay their final respects.
More than anything, the people of the Soviet
Union remain as severely entrenched in economic
difficulty as ever before. It is political and social
Communist doctrine that has kept them brutally in
line that sent them, for example, on that trip to
Mr. Brezhnev's bier to say farewell. It was certainly i*
not love.
The ascent to power of Mr. Andropov therefore ijij
suggests a flicker of hope for a thaw in the freeze
internally and externally. Internally, a resolution for :
the Soviet people of the conflict between guns and
butter advocates. Externally, a return to the spirit of!;!;
detente between East and West, specifically, some
abatement in the nuclear arms race.
Whether or not Mr. Andropov can overcome his
past as chief of the KGB and in his new role offer his
people at home some relaxation from the oppressive
measures of a police state remains to be seen.
Whether or not he can cool down some of the heated
exchanges in Mr. Brezhnev's last weeks of angry
words directed at the West, especially President
Reagan, also remains to be seen.
So far as the Middle East is concerned, we are
heartened by reports that Mr. Andropov is not in hot,.
pursuit of Arab causes. He does not believe they can !j
be made to get together and act in unity whether |
for good or bad. His review of Syria's performance on
the field against Israel in Lebanon is a case in point.
Whether this means a more measured approach
to the Soviet Union's possible contribution to peace
in that beleaguered region also remains to be seen. At
least at this moment, Mr. Andropov suggests that
there can be reason for some hope.
Bad News Came in Bunches for Israel
IT WAS a week for bad news.
First came the explosion in Tyre,
killing an unprecedented number
of Israelis, the whole occurrence
complicated by the official failure
to pin down the cause, thus leav-
ing the Israeli government look-
ing befuddled at a time when it
must appear to be bold and as-
sertive if it is to wrest anything
at all from the operation in Leba-
Then came the death of Aliza
Begin. The Prime Minister, in
Los Angeles to address the
General Assembly of the Con-
ference of Jewish Federations, of
course cancelled the remainder of
his ten-day U.S. tour, including a
meeting with President Reagan
in Washington. And, perhaps,
more important, an address at
the First Baptist Church of Dal-
las, with Jerry Falwell in attend-
THE OLD saw is that when
things are going badly, they are
bound to get worse. This is cer-
tainly true so far as Israel is con-
cerned. What the Israelis need
more than anything else is a
reconciliation of the forces that
have begun to tear them apart
from within. Mr. Begin's
scheduled appearance in Dallas
would have stiffened his back for
the task before his countrymen.
(The meeting with President
Reagan would have been a mere
exercise in futility, including a
second dose of the bad manners
fed to him by Congress last time
he was on Capitol Hill.)
Perhaps the most obvious divi-
sive force at this moment, al-
though it was not intended to be,
is the commission of inquiry into
the Sabra and Shatila massacre.
For the Israelis, it is surely not
an act of hypocrisy, but rather of
For the rest of the world, which
contributed so heavily to the
pressure behind the formation of
the commission, it is an act of
hyprocrisy and, at the same time,
the fulfillment of its most anti-
Semitic purposes.
ISRAELIS MUST begin to
approach the deliberations of the
commission and anticipate the
conclusions of the inquiry fully
aware of this, as well as in terms
of Middle East Realpolitik. Thus
far, however, it is a foregone con-
clusion that they have adopted
ah emotional tone and downbeat
intellectual posture not unlike
our own in Vietnam. That is too
The prospects here suggest a
national Israeli disaster far out of
proportion to the post-Vietna-
mese in America for reasons
rooted in the difference in the
magnitude of resources available
to the Israelis to cushion the ef-
fect in comparison with what was
available to us.
If nothing else, our national in-
difference to the unveiling of the
memorial to the veterans of the
Vietnamese war last weekend in
Washington, with President Rea-
gan's bulvanish snubbing of the
event, shows that resources or no
resources, even we have still not
managed to reconcile our own
disaster there.
WHAT THEN must face the
Israelis as the full impact of a
world ignorant of the forces that
drove them into Lebanon in the
first place, and that now leaves
the world a willing victim of
Palestinian propaganda, finally
hits the Israelis at home ?
But the commission of inquiry
is only one divisive element in the
picture needing reconciliation.
Other divisive elements internal
to the nation include outlandish!y
vocal Israelis who are willing to
pay any price for what they con-
sider to be peace with the Arabs,
when it is clear that peace with
the Arabs will come only when
Israel ceases to exist or, at best,
is maneuvered into accepting
the geopolitical facticity of the
borders of 1948 which, by attri-
tion, will lead to the same thing.
The reason for this is that there
are two Arab forces at work
against Israel today. One is
Marxist as espoused by, say.
Yasir Arafat, George Habash and
Libya's Qhadaffi The other is
fundamentalist Islam, shared by
such diverse actors on the Middle
East stage as Iran's Khomeini
and the royal family of Saudi
Arabia. In either case, nothing
but the disappearance of Israel
will satisfy them.
IT IS therefore a delusion from
which Israel's doves suffer who

Ron Sees Reds Under Nuclear Freeze Beds
Applauded throughout the
world as the 1982 winners of the
Nobel Peace Price, Mr. Gunnar
Myrdal of Sweden and Alfonso
Garcia Kobles of Mexico, must be
dismayed to learn that accord-
ing to President Reagan's evalu-
ation of nuclear freeze advocates
the pair is "deliberately at-
tempting to weaken the United
States" or else is misguided.
Nor are they to be counted
among "the sincere, honest
people who want peace."
Stashed into the same crucible
of shame, if you accept Mr.
Reagan's indictment, are all the
members of the Nobel selection
committee. In their statement
announcing the dual awards, that
committee cited Mrs. Myrdal and
Garcia Robles as two who best
represent the spirit of protests
against nuclear arms that have
been kindled this year.
The prize-winners will receive
their awards Dec. 10. That
splendid ceremony will provide a
sharp contrast to Mr. Reagan's
verbal assault on peace-seekers
during a political rally in
Columbus, Ohio, early in
October. In Columbus, the Presi-
dent said that people supporting
the nuclear freeze movement are

well over a hundred members of
the House of Representatives,
hundreds of Jewish, Protestant,

leaders, 97 Nobel laureates, and
scores of nuclear scientists and
doctors sharing grave concern
about the probability of total de-
struction of our planet if the
nuclear arms race continues.
Along with this honor roll of
freeze proponents go the nearly
20 million members of 25
American organizations now rep

The Jewish Floridian of South County
CUd Fox Andropov Expected to Continue Brezhnev's Policies
West -European experts be-
lieve tile new Soviet leader-
ship will continue the late
Leonid Brezhnev's cautious
policy in the Middle East
but will crack do#fl harder
on dissidents at home, es-
pecially Jews seeking the
right to emigrate.
Yuri Andropov, the former
head of the KGB who succeeded
Brezhnev afe First Secretary of
the Soviet Communist Party, and
Konstantin Chernenko, the Polit-
buro member who nominated him
for that office, are both known to
lack confidence in the ability of
the Arab countries to unite and
act together. It is their conviction
that the main external danger to
the Soviet Union lies in the West.
CONSEQUENTLY, the ex-
perts say, the new leadership will
continue Brezhnev's policy in the
Middle East of carefully avoiding
anv maior confrontation either
with Israel or the U.S. The Soviet
Union will continue to supply
Syria and other Soviet client
states in the area with arms. But
the flow will not be increased nor
will it be upgraded equalitatively.
According to one French intel-

LEONID BREZHNEV: the old cautious policies
Former KGB Chief Said to Plan
Harder Crackdown on Dissidents
Even before Brezhnev's death
last week at the age of 75, Syrian
and Egyptian diplomats and
army officers complained of
"tepid support" of the Arab
cause in the Kremlin. Andropov
and Chernenko were often named
in that connection. In general,
the successors to Brezhnev are
elderly men and loathe to under-
take "an adventurous course."
By EDWIN EYTAN
They are expected to try to calm
the belicose instincts of their
Syrian and Libyan clients.
THE EXPERTS believe that
for the time being, Moscow will
try to achieve a status quo in the
Middle East to preserve its in-
terests and influence in the region
without expanding them. Some
Western diplomats believe that
Brezhnev's death has given the
U.S. and Israel a chance to at-
tempt to find a global solution to
the Middle East conflict without
Russian interference. But given
the unpredictability of Soviet
politics, the "period of grace"
may not last longer than a year.
The prompt succession of An-
dropov in fact surprised many
Kremlin-watchers who had ex-
pected a prolonged war of succes-
sion between Brezhnev's heirs for
the top leadership post. Some
predicted that a nominal suc-
cessor would be appointed until
the power struggle was resolved.
But Andropov appears to be a
strong man. At 68, he is known to
be backed by the military estab-
lishment, the secret service and
the police.
From 1967-82 he headed the
Soviet Security Committee which
is responsible for the KGB and
the police. Recently, he bested
Chernenko, 71, for the No. 2 spot
in the Soviet establishment, the
post of Central Committee Secre-
tary left vacant by the death of
Andrei SusloV earlier this year.
ANDROPOV IS known to
have been among those Politburo
members who frequently com-
plained of the relatively
"moderate" course Brezhnev
tried to steer on human rights.
He believed those "lenient" poli-
cies allowed the dissident move-
ment to fourish. Experts believe
that given a free hand, he will
ruthlessly suppress any internal
challenge to the Soviet system.
His top priority is said to be a
quiet, stable social and political
climate within the USSR. Ac-
cordingly, dissidents are ex-
pected to suffer even more than
in the past, particularly if they
are perceived to be connected to
any foreign interests, such as

Aliza Was Menachem's Friend,
Partner of Near- 50 Years
Aliza Begin, wife of Pre-
mier Manachem Begin,
died last week at the
Hebrew University-Hadas-
lah Medical Center here.
She was 62. The cause of
death was given as heart
failure. Begin interrupted
his visit to the United
States to fly home.
Funeral services were held
Monday on the Mount of Olives
and were private. The Begin
family requested no media cover-
age. Officials said Deputy
Premier Simcha Ehrlich is ex-
pected to be in charge of the
government while Begin observes
the seven day mourning period
EHRLICH said, in a brief
eulogy at Sunday's Cabinet
session that Aliza Begin was "a
personality in her own right .
She was Menachem Begins
friend and partner in life for close
to 50 years and travelled with
him the long path full of dangers,
full of deeds, of suffering and of
achievements Aliza Begin
was fine woman, of sterling qual-
ities ... We shall never forget
Mrs. Begin was hospitalized on
Oct. 4 for breathing difficulties
and was in the intensive care unit
for the past few weeks. Her
illness caused Begin to postpone
a planned trip to Zaire last
month. But he left for the United
States as scheduled last Thurs-
day at her urging and because
Mrs. Begin was showing some
Aliza Begin was born on April
20, 1920 in Drohobycz, a small
town in Poland where her father,
Or. Zvi Arnold, was an attorney
and a leader in the Zionist Revi-
sionist movement. She was one of
twin daughters. Her sister was to
perish in the Holocaust.
SHE MET her future husband,
Menachem, when she was 17. Her
father invited the then recent law
graduate of Warsaw University
to their home for dinner. Begin
was at the time a leader of Betar,
the Revisionist youth movement.
The young couple corresponded
and were married two years later,
on May 29,1939. They took their
vows both dressed in Betar uni-
World War II broke out on
Sept. 1 when German armies in-
vaded Poland. The Begins joined
a stream of Jewish refugees
trying to reach the Rumanian
border but got no further than
Vilna. When the Russian army
occupied that part of Poland,
Aliza left for Palestine alone. Be-
gin, who had organized Revision-
ist party headquarters in Vilna,
was arrested and sent to forced
labor camps. He was released a
year later and joined his wife in
Jerusalem. .
His activities in Palestine soon
made him a wanted man by the
British Mandate authorities.
Aliza and her husband lived un-
derground for five years, moving
from hide-out to hide-out under a
variety of aliases. During those
difficult years their children were
born Benyamin Zeev, Hasya
and Leah. They finally settled in
a modest ground floor flat in Tel
Aviv which was their home until
May, 1977 when Begin was
elected Premier. They moved to
the Prime Ministers residence in
the Rehavia section of Jerusalem.
MRS. BEGIN remained out of
the public eye during the 30 years
that her husband was leader of
the opposition in Israel's parlia-
ment. He was Prime Minister for
two years before she granted her
first press interview. She never
expressed opinions on public
issues. She was however active in
service for handicapped persons,
particularly wounded soldiers.
Mrs. Begin had suffered from
asthma since childhood. Her con-
dition deteriorated recently,
requiring hospitalization. She
will be buried near the graves of
two underground fighters of Be-
gin's Irgun and the Stern Group
who committed suicide shortly
before they were to be executed

Report from Hollywood
George Burns Plans to Make it to 100 Yearsand More
By HERBERT G. LUFT
HOLLYWOOD George Burns, now past age 86, will
star in the Warner Bros, remake of the 1956 Alec Guin-
ness movie, "The Lady Killers." He will also appear this
fall on CBS and NBC in a two-hour contemporary drama,
"Two of a Kind" and in "George Burns and Other Sex
Symbols," a one-hour special for NBC, with Linda Evans
and Bernadette Peters at his side.
The eternally young man plans to continue his concerts
and personal appearances with engagements throughout
October and November in Florida, San Francisco and
Atlantic City. The tour follows the release of his latest
album, "Young at Heart," featuring 10 songs.
BURNS, who was born Nathan Birnbaum, in New York
City, teamed up with Grade Allen in the 1920's, made his
debut in motion pictures in 1932 in "The Big Broadcast,"
actually portraying himself in a guest starring role as he
did later in a number of none-toQ-profound screen
comedies. While an established star in vaudeville, radio
and on television, he only came into his own in the cinema
after his old friend and colleague, Jack Benny, died and,
on the spur of a moment, he took over his role in the
filmization of Neil SimonV'The Sunshine Boys."
This was in 1975. Burns was hailed for bis brilliant
characterization. During the past seven years he has
portrayed key roles in "Oh, God!," "Oh, God, Book II,"
"Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," "Just
You and Me, Kid," and in "Going in Style."
George will be presented with the Man of the Year
Award, for which he was chosen by editors and publishers
of U.S. magazines.
Last, not least, George Burns currently is writing
"How to Be 100 and Mora."

Unfulfilled Fears
Saudi Investors are Quite Conservative
Cults On the Rise
Can We Prevent It?
By WILL MASLOW
The explosive increase in
the price of oil following the
oil embargo of 1973-1974
and the Iran-Iraq war of
1979 led to fears that a tor-
rent of petrodollars to the
United States would enable
the oil-rich Arab states to
buy up all of America.
These fears have proved
thus far. at least to be exag-
gerated. It was true that the
governments of Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait and the United Arab
Emirates were amassing sur-
pluses in the tens of billions of
dollars, but their investment
policies have proved to be most
conservative. Saudi Arabia has
not been interested in buying
American land or banks or cor-
porate stocks or bonds.
There are, of course, flam-
boyant private Arab investors
like Adnan Khashoggi who seem
intent on buying banks or hotels
or shopping centers, but their re-
sources are tiny compared with
Arab governments. Saudi Arabia
instead keeps billions on deposit
in American banks, owns huge
quantities of U.S. Treasury
securities, or lends huge sums to
blue chip corporations like
KUWAIT, more adventurous
than Saudi Arabia, until recently
has instructed its American
agents not to buy more than five
percent of the stock of any one
corporation because SEC rules
require public disclosure of such
holdings. But Kuwait, unlike
Saudi Arabia, apparently did not
seek to enhance its image or in-
fluence in the U.S. It was ap-
parently interested only in
profitable and safe investments.
The purchase by Kuwait of Santa
Fe International Company for
$2.5 billion represented a change
of policy and signaled the start of
a purchasing drive bv which
Kuwait would own a multi-na-
tional oil company.
Saudi Arabia, however, has
political goals in the U.S. and
seeks to use its billions of dollars
to help achieve them. Its influ-
ence derives from five different
Its huge oil fields (and still
larger oil reserves) are the main
source of supply for our NATO
allies and Japan. Although Saudi
oil now constitutes only 3.7 per-
cent of the oil consumed in the
U.S., its wealth has won influen
tial supporters. Any countrj
which can call Exxon, Mobil.
Texaco and Standard Oil of Cali-
fornia its great and good friends
has powerful allies.
The $8 billion of U.S. goods
that Saudi Arabia is now pur-
chasing each year builds a power-
ful cadre of American corpora-
tions dependent on Saudi good-
will. Even the oil glut has failed
to slacken the Saudi thirst for
American goods and services.
The huge construction con-
tracts awarded each year to
American giants like Bechtel,
Fluor and others create still
another bodv of American cor-
porate supporters. The fact that
American firms must compete for
these contracts with construction
companies all over the world only
makes them more vulnerable to
Arab governments' pressure. The
drying up of construction in the
U.S. serves to make the Saudi
contracts even more attractive;
some of these exceed $1 billion

posit in American banks a suit.
estimated at least S25 billion.
These massive deposits are held
on an extremely short basis and
in some instances on a demand

funds among international banks
like Chase, Citibank and Bank of
America is intense. Similarly stiff
competition extends to large in-

TO EXPOIT these advan-
tages, the Saudis are spending
millions of dollars annually in
buying the most influential (and
most expensive) public relations
advisors, lobbyists and legal
counsel. Saudi oil now comes
packaged in American rhetoric.
(The Saudi lobbyist Fred Dutton,
former Democratic Party big-
wig, was the one who coined the
phrase, "Begin or Reagan?" in
the AWACS fight.)
Saudi influence is huge but it is
not unlimited. The vote on the
AWACS deal, 52 to 48, proved
that in Congress, among the
media and most important
in the minds of most Americans,
the merits of an issue and a sense
of moral justice may outweight

limitless black gold.

In Retrospect
Charges of Anti-Semitism in Rome Down-Played
By LISA BILL1G
ROME The month
iiat has passed since the
_ichinegun and grenade
ttack on the main synago-
gue here which took the fife
f a two-year-old child and
Lunded 33 men, women
[nd children has witnessed
tremendous outpouring of
,rrow and sympathy for
Jewish community.
[ft comes from all levels of the
ttbolic Church hierarchy: from
iy leaden and humble
Lrishioners; from non-Catholic
Christians and from Italians in
I walks of life. But coupled with
i deeply felt shock and grief is
[sense ofconsufion.
IT IS visible in the reactions of
ople who are unable to explain
magnitude of anger and bit-
ess expressed by Italian
iwry in the immediate atter-
ath of the tragedy, not only for
i perpetrators who have still
hi been identified or appre-
inded but against the Pope,
|e Vatican, the highest govern-
ed officials and the media.
I When the bloodshed and terror
tded, Homes 15.000 Jews with-
ew literally into themselves,
hey chose to mourn alone,
Ijecting the offerings of condol-
bce as they did official tributes
[ flowers.
Jn their initial shock, they saw
r murderous attack outside the
ndmark synagogue as a direct
suit ot a climate created by
Jents that preceded it: the au-
ence granted by Pope John
kul II to Palestine Liberation
fganization chief Yasir Arafat:
warm reception Arafat re-
lived from President Sandro
tini and Foreign Minister n
raUio Colombo: the endless
iimbeat of criticism of Israel by
of the Italian news media
its war in Lebanon, particu-
Irly alter the massacre of Pales-
niaiis in west Beirut by Israel's
hristian I'halangist allies.
I MANY ITALIANS are
pzzled by this linkage, and Jews
are wondering, in retrospect
hether the cause-and-effeet jux-
Iposition of events is as clear-
It as initially it appeared to be.
|eanwhile, as both communities
rive to unravel their feelings, a
pnciliation has been taking"
not worked hard enough for
justice and peace." A delegation
of Polish bishops and priests,
themselves concentration camp
survivors, visited the Jewish
wounded at the Fatebenefratelli
Hospital near the main syna-
The delegation came to Rome
for the beatification of Maximil-
ian Kolbe who offered his life in
exchange for a Polish father
doomed to death by starvation at
Auschwitz. Msgr. Kazimiev
Majdariskij, Bishop of Stettin
who was confined to Dachau from
1939-1946, recalled that the child
slain by the terrorists in Rome.
Stefano Tache, reminded him of
the Jewish children in Dachau a
generation ago.
IN FACT, it was iust 39 vears
ago, on a Sabbath in October,
that the grandparents of little
Stefano, and his own parents,
then children themselves, and his
aunts, uncles and cousins, were
deported by the Nazis to Au-
schwitz. Of the two large fami-
lies, only 15 survived.
There is a strong temptation to
bitterness over this tragic irony.
The two children who lived
through Auschwitz to become
Stefano s parents, also lived to
see one child murdered and
another, Stefano's sister,
wounded in a senseless attack on
Jews. But should the rage be
directed at fellow-Italians?
In all of Europe, the modern
Italian state has been among the
least infected by anti-Semitism.
The Italian people have not been
and are not now anti-Semitic.
With respect to racism, Musso-
lini was a reluctant partner of
Hitler. While political pressures
instigated the blustering but
weak Italian dictator to promul-
gate his version of the Nurem-
burg laws during World War II,
Italians by and large tried to help
their Jewish neighbors.
SOME JEWS recalled, after
the synagogue attack, that
Italian soldiers gave haven to
French Jews fleeing the Vichy
regime which only too willingly
collaborated in the Nazi deporta-
Today there are also political
interests at work which, through
alliances with extremist Arab
groups and the more doctrinaire
sections of the Communist-
dominated Italian trade union
federation, try to exploit anti-
Semitism. But most of the Italian
population has remained immune
to these attempts.
So Italians ask: Why do the
Jews insist that the terrorist
attack would no.t have occurred
but for a carefully prepared
climate of anti-Semitism? The
terrorists almost certainly were
Arabs, probably Palestinians,
probably members of Abu
Nidal's fanatical Al Assifa which
even the PLO claims to disown.
ITALIANS WERE in no way
involved, they say. Morover, ter-
rorism is one thing, a plague of
the times which has caused death
and destruction not only to Jews;
anti-Semitism is something else,
an ancient prejudice discredited
by decent people.
So why were the Jews so quick
to cast blame? their fellow Ital-

ians ask. Is criticism of the
policies of Premier Menachem
Begin and his Defense Minister
Ariel Sharon to be equated with
anti-Semitism and thereby be
made exempt from all criticism?
Many Jews the world over are
among the severest critics of the
Begin-Sharon government and
they can hardly be accused of
anti-Semitism, the Italians say.
The confusion perhaps steins
from the belief that because
Italian Jewry reacted as one in its
grief and anger over the attack,
they are a monolithic community
In fact, Italian Jews rarely speak
with one voice but in many, often
contradictory voices. When emo-
tions run high, however there is a
tendency to generalize. Long-

Oc/f of Respect
Reagan Pressure Expected
To be Cooled for a While
By DAVID FRIEDMAN
(JTA) Premier Mena-
chem Begins sudden re-
turn to Israel because of the
death of his wife Saturday
has prevented the Reagan
Administration from put-
ting personal pressure on
the Israeli Premier to freeze
the establishment of Jewish
settlements on the West
Bank. Begin is not ex-
pected to return to the U.S.
Reagan made it clear at his na-
tionally televised press confer-
ence last Thursday night that he
would discuss his request for a
settlement freeze with Begin
when the two were to meet this
Friday as scheduled. "I'm sure
that he and I will have some talks
on that as well as other sub-
jects," Reagan said in response
to a question on the settlements.
"We do think that it is a hind-
rance to what we are trying to ac-
complish for the peace move-
HE OUTLINED these objec
tives as bringing the Arab states
and the Arab leaders and the Is-
raeli leaders together at the
negotiating table to resolve the
difference between them and that
begins with them recognizing
Israel's right to exist."
The American effort received
support from Egyptian Foreign
Minister Kamal Hassen Ali, who
after a two-and-a-half hour meet-
ing with Secretary of State
George Shultz at the State De-
partment last Friday, said he
hoped that Begin's visit to
Washington would "mark a be-
ginning of a change of policy and
Ali said that "it is unfortunate
that at a time when the United
States government was actively
seeking broader participation in
the peace process, Israel rejected
the President's (September 1
peace) initiative and declared its
intention to build new settle-
ments in the occupied West
Rank." He said that Israel plans
to settle 1.3 million people on the
West Bank over the next 30 years
and charged this would result ir
the "annexation" of the territor
ies. 1*
MEANWHILE, Reagan at his
press conference again ruled out
using sanctions against Israel to
force a freeze. "I don't think it
would be good diplomacy to be
threatening or anything," he
said. "And I don't believe it is
necessary. I think that all of us
recognize that peace is the
ultimate goal."
When it was suggested that
the U.S. cut its aid by the
amount Israel spends on its West
Bank settlements, estimated at
$100 million by the questioner,
Reagan said he did not know
what the figure was although he
could find out. But he said, it
would be neither "helpful" nor
"fruitful" to discuss this possi-
He noted that "progress" was
being made in bringing more
Arab states into the negotiations,
as demonstrated by what he
called the "unique" visit to him
by a delegation of the Arab
League last month. "There's a
need now for Israel to itself rec-
ognize that they must play a part
in making it possible for negotia-
tions," he said. He indicated that
a settlement freeze would also
help Lebanese President Amin
Gemayel in his task of reconciling
Lebanese Moslem groups to his
new government.
ALI, after the meeting with
Shultz, said that Egypt wants
the peace process started at
Camp David to "flourish and
widen as to encompass every one
in the area." He said Egypt was
"deeply concerned over the loss
of momentum" but praised
Reagan's peace initiative as a
"positive step toward a just,
lasting and comprehensive peace
in the Middle East."
Reagan at his press conference
said that he is still "optimistic"
and that is why he had named
Philip Habib earlier Thursday as
his special representative to the
Middle East. Habib will work
with Morris Draper, Deputy As-
sistant Secretary of State for
Near East and South Asian Af-
fairs, who is now in Beirut, on the
negotiations for the removal of
foreign forces from Lebanon, and
with Richard Fairbanks, who has
been dealing with the autonomy
negotiations, on these negotia-
tions as well as the Reagan peace

Meanwhile, it was unclear
today when Habib would be.
going to the Middle East. Origi-
nally he had not been scheduled
to go there until after the Begin
visit to Washington.
ON LEBANON, Reagan said
he could not say when the U.S.
marines could leave that country.
He said they and the other mem-
bers of the force, the French and
Italian troops, would stay there
until the U.S. could accomplish
two goals, first, when it was clear
that the Gemayel government
was able to "stabilize and be able
to take charge of its borders,"
and secondly, the withdrawal of
the Syrian, Palestine Liberation
Organization and Israeli forces
from Lebanon which Reagan said
the U.S. was working to accom-
plish as "fast as we can."
Ali, who said he discussed the
Lebanese situation with Shultz,
told reporters that Egypt "would
like to see s speedy withdrawal of
Israeli and other foreign forces
from Lebanon. It is imperative
that no obstacle be put in the im-
plementation of this undertaking.
He said the Egyptian Ambas-
sador to Israel had been recalled
to Cairo after the September Bei-
rut massacre and would return to
Israel when there was a change in
the "atmosphere," and it was
"clear" that Israel would with-
draw its forces from Lebanon.
ALI. who called briefly on
Reagan Friday to give him a
letter from Egyptian President
Hosni Mubarak, said he and
Shultz also discussed the Taba
dispute. He said Egypt wants a
"peaceful settlement" of this dis-
pute with Israel and hopes it can
be accomplished with the help of
the U.S.
The Egyptian offficial said he
also urged Shultz that the U.S.
should begin talks with the PLO.
But he said that during his meet-
ing with a PLO official in Paris
recently, the PLO had not offered
to recognize Israel in return for
Israel recognizing it as has been

hold that peace with Araby is
possible on more reasonable
terms. That they are linked to the
most vocal pressures surround-
ing the commission of inquiry
into Sabra and Shatila makes
both forces in Israel today such a
potential disaster.
To this divisiveness must be
added those Jews who, for exam-
ple, in America join Arab pro-
testors in common cause as they
did outside the Los Angeles hotel
where the Council of Jewish
Federations met for its General
Assembly over the weekend and
which Prime Minister Begin was
to address until the sudden can-
cellation of his U.S. tour.
These American Jews are the
ones who give America's enemies
of Israel the incentive to get even
tougher with that beleaguered
nation than otherwise. These
Jews contribute to driving a
lethal wedge into an already suf-
ficiently polarized American
Jewish community that needs no
further polarization on the issue
of Israel and what the media are
now characterizing as Israel's al-
legedly "tarnished image."
IN ESSENCE, these Jews give
cause to the media and others
to refer to a "divided" American
Jewish community, when the
division, at least at this point,
a significantly media-made ph*.
nomenon and which they en-
courage by their union with Arab
protestors to feed upon itself
more luxuriously.
It is not that U.S. foreign
policy can be expected to change
according to the unanimity of
American Jewish opinion. But
the prospect of an allegedly
divided American Jewish opinion
can certainly make its present
crash course all the easier to
maintain on the road to disaster.
Of all the bad news last week"
the death of Aliza Begin may
have been the worst reckoned in
these terms. For it is the Prime
Minister who best holds at bay
the deleterious impact of Israeli
self-examination. There is no tell-
ing how much her death may now
drive him to throw in the towel as
an act of resignation and contri-
tion in deference to her memory.
Should that occur, woe is 'it*,
all, in Israel and in America.
There are too many of us ready to
give up as it is. Mr. Begins own
steadfastness of purpose is what
has made him the protestors'
enemy in the first place and the
nemesis of the traitors in the
capitals of the Western world af-
ter that.

Reports of Jewish Schism
'Grossly Exaggerated,' CJF Assembly Told
By MURRAY ZUCKOFF
LjTA) Reports of a
chism between world Jew-
, and Israel in the wake of
,, war in Lebanon and the
oassacre of Palestinians in
jest Beirut refugee camps
fave been grossly exagge-
ated. In fact, just the
ver8e is true, Martin
Citin, president of the
puncil of Jewish Fed-
ations, said here.
Addressing some 3,000 Jewish
jiders and activists from the
United States and Canada at the
ala 50th anniversary General
Assembly of the CJF at the
Ronaventure Hotel here, he
"What we have lived through
[: the last several months has
ngthened us. Let those who
i otherwise understand clearly
at there is not now, never has
and never will be a single
ark in the support of all of
jrorld Jewry where the con-
tnuing strength and security of
|henation of Israel is imperiled."
CITRIN, whose address dealt
tith "insuring the commitment
If the next generation," em-
lhasized that to assure that
Dmmitment, it is necessary to
eate a joint agenda "for the
ople of Israel, the Jewish
ople. with the nation of Israel."
thermore, he said, the basic
foment in that agenda "is to do
rhat we can to help insure peace
nr thai beleaguered land."
But. Citrin pointed out, there
another side to this joint
Agenda. "As American Jews we
nust work with our Israeli broth-
ers and sisters to help them
Understand us and we them," he
aid. "As we salute the saga of
"pur accomplishments
unequalled in modern times as
we seek to continually under-
stand and share their fears and
concerns, so must we help them
understand us our love of
country, home and birthplace to
most of us."
He added, however, "This does
not in one iota lessen the cen-
trality of Israel in our spiritual
and cultural lives. This does not
lessen the resolve and energy
that we hold ready to pour out in
full measure for the security and
fulfillment of every single one of
our Israeli brothers and sisters."
ANOTHER ELEMENT in the
joint agenda, Citrin said, "are our
deep concerns about anti-
Semitism and relationships here
in North America and world-
wide. We have recently lived
through and continue to live
through, a period of violence and
shocks that have caused us to
take a new sobering look at the
ugly turn that world events have
taken the very real effort to
delegitimize the State of Israel,
to equate racism with Zionism,
terrorist acts in France and Italy
which seek to put the Jewish
communities of the world at peril
of their very acceptance and
While Jews around the world
find themselves in a generally
perilous situation, "the prophecy
of Abraham has come to full
fruition here in North America,
for the people of Israel," Citrin
pointed out. "At no time or
place in their history have Jews
as a people a group been so
free, affluent, accepted, in-
fluential and satisfied as now in
North America."
Their status and impact in
North America is even, greater
than it is in Europe, Citrin said,
where the Jewish legacy includes

THE STRENGTH of the
North American Jewish com-
munity has in no small part been
due to the work of the communal
Federations in organizing and
institutionalizing "an in-
comparable network for human
services for our own people and
for the disadvantage^ of this
continent and beyond," Citrin
To show how well the
Federations system has done,
Citrin offered some comparison
data 1932 versus 1982. "As a
base line reference," he said, in
1932, the Jewish population in
North America was 4,380,000; in
1982, 6,263,000, an increase of
some 43 percent. In 1932, there
were 125 Federations although
the majority of these were welfare
funds only and not full-fledged
Federations. Today, there are
200 full-fledged Federations in
North America.
Continuing, Citrin pointed out
that there were 3,500 synagogues
in North America in 1932 and
5,400 today; 2,000 Jewish schools
in 1932 and 2,500 today. Within
those numbers, there were 12 day
schools in 1932, compared to 600
today; student enrollment num-
bered 200,000 in 1932, compared
to 360,000 today.
IN 1932, Citrin said, Jews in
North America raised $17 million
in their annual campaign; in
1982, Jews in North America will
have raised through Federation
campaigns, including Project
Renewal, $640 million. Starting
from an organization of 13
Federations in 1932, it has grown
to 200 Federations today.
What of the next 50 years?
Citrin asked. What will be the
North American agenda and how
will it be implemented? The
approach to this will require "a
new element of creative and
expansive thinking." It will
require, Citrin added, experi-
mentation, blazing new trails,
taking risks and bringing to bear
"the full force of our people and
dollar resources" in "new and
daring ways."
The first priority on the agenda
of total concerns in Jewish
education, Citrin said. "Without
Jewish education, there is no
Jewish people, he observed. "Our
best bulwark against assi-
milation, our best nourishment
for healthy Federations and
healthy Jewish communities is
Jewish education."
WHAT WOULD it mean,
Citrin asked, "if we could provide
a free Jewish education for all
Jewish children and adults?
Suppose we had in North
America Jewish day schools of all
persuasions of the caliber of an
Eton or Exeter in every major
Jewish community? What an
impact this would have for our
Another priority on the agenda
of Jewish concerns, Citrin said, is
the relationship between North
American Jewry and Israel once
"true and enduring peace" has
been established in that land.
"Think about the possibilities of
our understanding and working
with each other in the context of
peace and not war," he told the
"First, of course, to save the
threatened Jewish communitiea
of the world wherever they now
are or might be in the future
Ethiopia, Syria, Soviet Russia -,
who can hear what we have
heard? The longing, the courage,
the privation, the reaifirmation of
their resolve that
strengthens us in our commit
ment to aid and support heroes
like Anatoly Sharansky id
their struggle. That is our
struggle, to save these im-
prisoned people and bring them
to Israel before it is too late,
before a spiritual cultural
Holocaust will have lost for us
for all time this great chance."
CONTINUING, Citrin also
called upon the audience to
"think about the possibility of
developing the network of know-
how and investment between the
affluent and experienced Jewish
communities of the world and
Israel to help bring to full fruition
the industrial and economic
opportunities available there a
people-to-people link, not just a
dollar link. We have our first
glimpse of the power of this kind
of relationship in Project Ren-
In the final analysis, Citrin
said, the agendas for the years
ahead, "in reality, are the same
agendas that we have had for the
last 4,000 years: a yearning to

Drones immoral
Drones are immoral and counterproductive. They terrorize communities. They create many more new enemies than they kill. It is disturbing how casually they dismiss the number of civilian casualties - including children. Is it possible that people in other countries value their children as much as we value ours?

Promised just enough
In a Feb. 18 letter by John Billette headlined "Won't change its stripes," Mr. Billette states, "It should be fun to watch how the party of the rich and white does this. They don't actually want these minority types in their tent, they just want their votes."
Apparently Mr. Billette has failed to notice that the Democratic Party has been pandering to the African-American/Hispanic vote for some 30 years or more. The Democratic Party has promised the minority in this country much over the years, but of course just enough to keep them in line and place blame on the opposition for votes.
Mr. Billette assumes racism in the Republican Party where none exists. Why? Because the Democratic Party and the mainstream media told him this is. Most Republicans/conservatives I know care less about skin color and more about content of character, unlike Democrats who can't or won't look past skin color for fear of losing votes.
As I tell all my liberal friends, you teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a life time, give a man a fish, he'll vote Democrat.

Nothing is impossible
In the late 1950s Detroit had a population of 1.8 million people and Wayne and Oakland counties were prime pheasant habitat, and more sportsmen hunted pheasant than white-tailed deer.
Today Detroit has a population of 700,000 and is broke. Since 2010 Michigan's Departmetn of Natural Resources has a program called Michigan Pheasant Restoration Initiative. Presently Joe Biden is flying around the country telling people to buy a shotgun.
I would like to suggest that the DNR bulldoze two-thirds of Detroit and convert it back into pheasant habitat. This would solve most of Detroit's money problems. The DNR program would be successful. Joe Biden would be happy that someone was finally listening to his advice.
I know all this sounds difficult to complete, but remember in 1957 the Detroit Lions won the NFL Championship, so nothing is impossible.

one hot chic!
"Somehow, I guess my mom knew I was going to be an unusual child," Rebekka Armstrong says, "so she figured she had to give me an unusual first name." Maybe it was the weird desert climate or the barren landscape of her home town of Ridgecrest, California, a small community in the middle of the Mojave Desert, or maybe it was all those loud noises emanating from the naval weapons-testing station nearby, but Mrs. Armstrong's clairvoyance was right on the money - her daughter Bekki was not going to be your ordinary, garden-variety California girl. At the ripe old age of nine, Bekki started motocross racing and was so adept at it by the time she was 12 that the racing officials would no longer let her compete against girls. In those days, her favorite mode of dress was combat boots, T-shirts and Levi's. "Something hit me when I was 15," she recalls, "and I decided to become more feminine." Pause. "So I wore a dress over the combat boots." The quintessential tomboy, she preferred GI Joes to rag dolls, cowboys and Indians to slumber parties, disarmed Army-surplus grenades to Ken and Barbie. "I used to beat up the boys at school," she recalls. "I even broke a kid's finger once. I always went after the bullies - you know the type. In high school, I didn't mess with any dudes, but I didn't take any guff from anybody, either. Did I tell you I started chewing tobacco when I was ten? I guess I just wanted to be one of the boys. I quit at 15." Ask Bekki where her tomboy streak originates and she won't hesitate. "I take after my mom," she says proudly. "When she was younger, she used to drag-race the quarter mile in a '67 Mustang fastback. She's had some pretty masculine jobs, too - ironworker, construction, welding, roofing. She's got pretty big chest muscles." Bekki's close relationship with her mother is one of the most treasured aspects of her life. Mother and daughter have done practically everything together, from double-dating to discussing their most intimate sexual fantasies. "I started really opening up to my mom at 16," Bekki tells us. "You can learn a lot from someone who's already gone through it." For example, she quotes her mother's three cardinal rules on the subject of men: "Don't let men walk all over you, don't let a man get away with too much and never go into a romantic situation blind, because you'll always get hurt." As for the double-dating: "Mom looks pretty young," Bekki says, "so the guys we date are about the same age, in their late 20's. We've never fought over the same guy, though. I guess we have an unwritten agreement: 'This one's mine, that one's yours.' " Nowadays, Bekki's tomboy tendencies have mellowed. The combat boots are in the closet, the motorcycles are stored in the garage and she's not beating up bullies anymore. She does, however, sleep with a loaded deer rifle by her bed as protection against prowlers, and has recently developed an interest in drag racing ("I'm rebuilding a '57 Chevy two-door hardtop sports coupe with a 35 Stroker motor that puts out 657 horsepower at 7200 rpms"). On the other hand, "You should see me getting ready for a date. I'll spend hours on my toenails and make sure every strand of hair is perfect. When I go out, I like to look like a walking hors d'oeuvre." Pause. "Good enough to eat."

CUSTOMER REVIEWS FOR THIS PROMOTIONAL Polo Shirts
4 reviews
I liked the ability to order any combination of color and size of the polos. I was not happy with the logo size. The quality of embriodery is great and it still looks good, but I was told very late in the process that the size would have to increase due to small features (the initial quote listed an optimal size). I understand why it had to be increased, but had I known sooner, alterations in design could have been made to keep the artwork within the desired size. With the deadline approaching, I was forced to forgo the order or accept the new parameters.
