Objectivity disintegrates under the spell of

John Le Carre. One is led by the hand (word) in his
book, "The LiZIZQ Dhummafl Ginfi” into a near state of
schizophrenic confusion transferred by the central
character Charlie. Charlie is an English Christian
provincial actress who is selected, primed, brain—
washed and ultimately transformed into a human robot
used by Israeli secret agents to pursue and kill PLO
terrorists for their murderous crimes against Israelis.

This is not a basic review, but rather a soliloquy.
Here is a novel which ostensibly treats even—handedly the
claims of Israel and the Palestinians to the land of the
displaced.

Intrigue, excitement, passion —— the play of a play within
a play —— a ”theatre of the real” —— do not camouflage Le Carre's
premise of the irreconcilability of Israel and the PLO.

Factually, he describes Such horrendous events as the
murder of the Israeli Olympic athletes in Munich, the bombings in Antwerp and Zurich and
elsewhere, and, of course, the repeated bombings of Israel —— the killing of children.

Equally he describes the bombing of Palestinians in camps and known PLO centers, and
the killing of children.

In smashing literary style he details the brilliance, the specificity, the tenacity
and the competence of Israeli intelligence agents who pursue the PLO terrorists and its
leaders unto their death.

Similarly (seemingly) he describes the organizational network of the PLO terrorists,
the killing and bombing, and the ultimate aim of the recovery of Palestine through world
recognition of their plight.

If one could be possessed of pure objectivity the reader might swing with Le Carre
from sympathy for the Israelis to sympathy for the PLO without a sense of schizophrenia.
It is so easy to be seduced by the cleverness of his presentation.

However, he reveals his bias in fairly obvious ways. Somehow the Palestinian

refugees in their camps are sweeter -— their behavior more naive and vulnerable than
the well—drilled, hard—driving, disciplined Israelis. Their aims, suggested through
his Arab characters, are more altruistic ... their poor little dead babies ... more

dead than the Israeli dead babies.

Little in his portrayal of the Arabs is equal in viciousness to such phrases as

”whereas all you really are is a bloodthirsty, land—grabbing Jew.” Compare this with
”You will find the Palestinians an easy people to live with —— shy, virginal”; ”Soon
we will all be dead —— the Zionists will genocide us to death"; l'In the Golan ——
beatings and torture —- on the West Bank worse than this”; and the ultimate,
"Zionists kill for fear and hate —— Palestinians for love and justice" (love of their

children and their homeland).

No matter how heroically and excitingly he portrays the Israelis, it is the
statements that eminate from his Palestinian characters which reveal his bias and
sympathy. He enveloped them with an aura designed to extract sympathy whether
conscious or unconscious.

It is a book to read, to ponder and to debate.

BLUEGRASS ALZHEIMER SOCIETY PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES

Alzheimer's disease and related dementing disorders are the major causes of
intellectual impairment in the older population. The Sanders—Brown Multidisci—
plinary Center of Gerontology at the University of Kentucky provides a range of
community services in this area.

The Bluegrass Alzheimer Society, a support group for the families of individuals
with Alzheimer's disease, meets the third Tuesday night of each month. The group
has three goals: to provide group support, giving group members an opportunity to
communicate and share experiences with others having similar problems; to disseminate
information about dementing diseases to the community and to group members which will
enable them to cope better, emotionally and physically, with their demented relative

in the home or institution; and to advocate research in the area of dementing disease.

Support group meetings are held in room 112 of the Sanders—Brown Building on South
Limestone, near Washington and Virginia Streets, at 7:15 p.m. Newcomers are en—
couraged to attend. For more information contact Dr. David Wekstein, 233—6040.

A RABBI
FOR RIGA

New York (JTA) — After 22 years without a spiritual leader, the Jewish community
of Riga in the Soviet Union will soon have its own rabbi, a native of the city
who has just been ordained in Budapest. The newly ordained rabbi is 30—year—old
Manachem Nidel who completed seven years of studies in the Rabbinical Seminary
in the Hungarian capital, according to reports last week.

He was ordained on March 20 and is scheduled to start his service in Riga at the
beginning of June. He is the second Soviet Jew to graduate from the seminary,

since 1974, the year the Soviets and the Hungarians reached an agreement enabling
young Soviet Jews to study at the seminary.

The first to be ordained as a Rabbi was Adolf Shayevich, who graduated in 1981
and is now Moscow's Associate Rabbi.
