Begin's Posturing, Reagan Says
A Special Fund Campaign for
1983 to help the Jewish Agency
maintain social service, welfare
and educational programs endan-
gered by the enormous human
cost of Israel's response to the
threat of terrorism is now under
An approximate cost of $200
million for the programs will be
sustained by the Special Fund.
All Special Fund money in ita en-
tirety will be sent directly to Is-
rael. UJA National Chairman
Robert E. Loup is calling on
American Jewish communities to
move immediately to implement
a separate special fundraising
campaign in addition to their
1983 regular campaign.
Because of the drain on the Is-
raeli economy resulting from
"Operation Peace for the Gali-
lee," the people of Israel can no
longer sustain these programs.
Services to new immigrants, de-
velopment of rural settlements,
health care, youth programs,
special educational and voca-
tional services, aid to the elderly
and the handicapped and assis-
tance to disadvantaged students
seeking higher education is
needed and must be continued.
Provisions have been made for
accepting gifts to the Special
Fund only from donors who first
match or increase their 1982 gifts
during the 1983 campaign. "The
three million Jews of Israel have
already been asked to increase
their taxes by more than $700
million to help meet the cost of
"Operation Peace for the Gali-
lee," Loup said.
"The eleven million Jews of the
free world must reassume the full
responsibility for the humani-
tarian services that are vital to a
strong and growing people in this
time of severe economic crisis.
"The response from the Ameri-
can Jewish community has been
enormously encouraging," Loup
said, "and demonstrates the
depth of our commitment to our
people in Israel and to the quality
of Jewish life in the Jewish home-
land. It is a message we hope the
whole world hears, and under-
"In light of the monumental
cost of lasting peace in the Gali-
lee to our people, the opening
weeks of our 1983 campaign take
on new significance. There is no
question that the world Jewish
family is facing one of the most
difficult challenges of its history.
Based on the response of that
family so far to the needs of our
brothers and sisters in Israel, we
have every reason to believe that
challenges will be met," com-
mented Loup.
Abby Levine, General Cam-
paign Chairman of the South
County Federation-UJA 1983
Drive indicated that the South
County Jewish Federation has
accepted the call of responsibility
from National Campaign Chair-
man, Robert E. Loup and will be
participating in the Special Fund
campaign. "I am calling upon all
contributors in South County to
at least equal their 1982 regular
campaign contribution and to
give 50 percent more than that to
the Special Campaign. We cannot
let Israel down."
Jews to Number 100,000
JERUSALEM (JTA)A Jewish population of some
100,000 will dominate the West Bank in three years if the
present birth rate continues, according to a study nearing
completion by Dr. Meron Benvenisti, former Deputy
Mayor of Jerusalem.
HE FOUND that contrary to popular belief, the natural
rate of increase among Palestinian Arabs in the territory
'\s lower than the birth rate of Jews inside Israel proper.

Israel was just Israel's op-

dent's peace initiative.
"Because I stressed negotia-
tion in the settlement of many of
these troublesome issues there, I
think that we have to understand
sometimes that maybe positions
are being staked out with these
negotiations in mind," Reagan
said in response to a reporter's
question after a half-hour meet-
ing with his special envoy, Philip
THE PRESIDENT, speaking
on the White House lawn,
flanked by Habib, Secretary of
State George Shultz, and Morris
Draper, Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State for Near East
and South Asian Affairs, stress-
ed that the "security of all the
states" in the Middle East "can
only be guaranteed through full
negotiated peace treaties between
Israel and its neighbors."
Habib anwsering questions
after Reagan and Shultz went in-
side in the White House, stressed
that there are going to be negoti-
ations and in the Mideast. "You
are not going to get anywhere
unless you talk about it and talk
about it in great depth."
Habib stressed that he rejected
any notion that the U.S. cannot
talk to Israel about the Presi-
dent's peace initiative, saying
that the "channel" to talk with
1 Israel is always open.
Habib also stressed that there
is no way the U.S. can play a
"secondary role" in Mideast
peace negotiations. He said in his
talks with Mideast leaders he has
found the U.S. in considered as
the "harbinger of peace in the
Middle East."

ing the cessation of hostilities so

Asked how it was to negotiate
with Begin, Habib said it was like
with "any elected head of a de-

Begin pursued his country's
policies with "vigor" and "great
intellectual capacity." He said
that Begin never forgets any-
thing that Habib had told him,

But Trade Goes on With
Merchants of Israel
By GIL SEDAN
Trade by Lebanese mer-
chants with Israeli firms in
July reached a volume for
the month of $4 million,
and a delegation of
Lebanese tradesmen who
visited Israel last week
placed orders totalling a
similar amount, it was re-
ported here.
Lebanese commerce with
Israelis has been going on for the
past five years, since the opening
of the "good fence" on the Israel-
Lebanese border, a wide-open
crossover point. Before Israel
sent its forces into Lebanon on
June 6, most of the Lebanese
traders came from the south
Lebanese sector controlled by
Maj. Saad Haddad and his Chris-
tian militia. Since then, officials

Cabinet Angrily Rejects Implications

response to a flood of criticism
abroad alleging that Israel has
acquiesced in and may even have
facilitated the slaughter of at
least 300 Palestinian men, women
and children by allowing the
armed Christian forces into the
camps and doing nothing to halt
the carnage.
The Cabinet communique also
reacted to mounting criticism at
home of Israel's deepening in-
volvement in strife-torn Lebanon
by calling on all Israelis to "rally
round their democratically
elected government."
Anti-government criticism
boiled over at home. Demon-
strators outside Begin's Jeru-
salem residence and elsewhere in
Israel demanded that Israel pull
out of west Beirut and out of
Lebanon. Labor Party leaders
called for the prompt resignation
of Begin and Defense Minister
Ariel Sharon. Begin declared that
he would not resign. At the Cabi-
net session he accused the
Laborites of "degenerate
galutism" and of "kneeling be-
fore the goy."

posed on tee-shirts and
bumper stickers seen
everywhere. But to hun-
dreds aged 25 to 50, the real
question facing them is
quite serious: does return-
ing to law school mean a
better life?
Sarah Vitaick Schabes, a
mother of two small children and
a housewife, thinks so. And that
is why after several years of aca-
demic inactivity, she not only re-
turned part-time during the eve-
nings to the University, but is
also soon expecting to practice
full time family law.
"I really needed the intellec-
tual stimulation," she said. "I
was restless, bored at home. I
would cook, clean and shop, cook, |
clean and shop. I'm still doing
that now, but at least it's not the
highlight of my day. I also
wanted economic security and in-
dependence. I didn't want to feel
dependent on anyone."
THE FINANCIAL allure of a
law degree is strong. Schabes is
expecting to earn in the $20,000
to $25,000 range right off the bat.
She said that in other fields, such
as accounting or computers, the
immediate payoff is a lot less.
"With a law degree people
know they can make a very good
living," she said.
"There's not as much of a feel-
ing of confidence in a CPA or
coming out of dental school. Plus
there's the investment that many
young professionals must make
in their practice," Dean Lawrence
Katz of the University of Balti-
more Law School, said.
SCHABES IS a Goucher
graduate with a history degree.
She married during her junior
year of college and had her
second child while in law school.
"When I majored in history. 1
was confident with the subject
matter." she said. "Well, it was
the same way with law tor me.

Beverly Falcon, director of ad-
missions at the University Law
School, and herself returning to
law school at age 32, would agree.
"Law school is a change for the
person, be it a man or a woman,"
she said. "I became a different
person. I had grown up in a shel-
tered environment. I figured with
law school, I d be capable of sup-
porting myself and my children. I
was leaning on a father figure all

of my life and I figured with a lav
degree I wouldn't have to."
APPARENTLY many othei
women agree. Last year's enroll
ment included 594 women, com-
pared to 324 men. But be it mak
or female, the reasons why law
schools are swelling with
students in their 30s or 40s
varies. Some see it as a ticket to
more moeny and prestige; others
feel they could understand their
current careers better with a law
background; still others just
want the intellectual shot in the
arm that law school can give
And while computer schools,
accounting courses and medical
professional schools are crowded,
it is the laws schools that are
backed up with waiting lists and
continually turning out attorneys
into an almost saturated market.
"I don't think there's any real
pattern nor is this a phenomenon
of just older people returning to
law school." Dean Katz said.
"Law school is more realistic for
some. You don't need 35 credits
of chemistry or 15 of physics to
get into law school. Medicine is a
very specific discipline. People
view legal education as very
flexible, a degree which will pro-
vide many different options for
"THE TIME demands of
medical school are much more,"
Falcon noted. "You hear about
the 24-hour days of interns. It's a
long program to go through. Law
school is a three-year, full-time
The University doesn't keep
statistics on the average age of
its students. But Falcon siad the
age range goes from the mid 20s
to the high 40s. Last year, there
was a 53-year-old woman en-
Over at the University of
Maryland, the average age of the
day student is 25, while the even-
ing school student is around 31.
Better than 50 percent of the day
school class came right out of
undergarduate studies, but only
10 percent of the evening school
come staight from college.
"There's nothing new about
this idea of older people returning
to law school," Jim Forsyth.
Maryland director of admissions,
said. "These people who do re-
turn usually are seeing a change
from whatever career field they're
involved in. Usually at one point
in their lives they thought about
law school, and now they feel
capable of getting back in it.
They want a better way. They've
seen that lawyers are often mak-
ing the decisions in their lives,
and they feel they ought to be
making a few of those decisions.

school as a way of improving so-
ciety, but the older students who
have had direct contact with
lawyers see it as a way to im-
prove their lives.'
IMPROVEMENTS in lifestyle
is exactly why Andy Lantner left
his public relations job at the As-
sociated Jewish Charities to be-
gin law school full-time. Lantner,
32, and recently married, talked
to his wife prior to getting mar-
ried about the need to change the
course of his writing career in
favor of law.
"I sat down with Jan before we
got married, and we had a series
of discussions," Lantner said. "I
was in a rut where I was. We took
an analytical view of my future,
and law seemed to be the answer.
I wish I could tell you that from
the time I was three years old 1
wanted to be a lawyer, but that's
not the case."
Lantner and his wife will live
on her social work salary for the
next three years while he pays
full-time attention to his course
load, a task that he looks on with
some nervousness.
"Certainly it's a risky thing,"
he said. "But this is a risk 1 have
to take. It's going to be five
courses at once and it's not going
to be easy. I'll be with people 10
years younger that 1 am.
"I HAD WILD ideas of being
a journalist," he continued. "At
graduation I had my fill of
school, I didn't want to come
back and study anything. But I
have certain skills which will help
me in my law studies, such as the
ability to write and the ability to
determine what is and is not im-
portant. I hope that with my age
comes a certain amount of ma-
turity. I won't have to go out
with the boys or any of that non-
sense. I'm looking at this as a job
and putting in the hours a day as
if it were pure work. But it should
be treated as a job, not just an
ordeal. This is an adventure."
Lantner is paying around
$1,000 per semester for tuition,
$300 for books and about another
$200 for other expenses.
"Certainly 111 miss the pay-
check," he said. "It will, more
than anything, involve a different
perception of. me and by me. I 've
always been a newspaper writer
or a publicist. In a way I'll feel
better about myself. As a news-
paper reporter, you're the person
who knows the least. As a lawyer.
I '11 become one of the elite."
NEAL FRIEDMAN, a televi-
sion personality, also has his
goals set on joining that "elite"
group that Lantner talked about.
"I think law school is endemic
among journalists," Friedman,
who is the full-time deputy direc-
tor of public affairs for the
Federal Trade Commission, said.
"You see so many people out of
school for five to 10 years return-
ing. In my case it's 20 years.

journalist, but I found other
things I wanted to do," he con

but reaching 40,1 saw that it was
a young person's business. I

down the road. My father is an

school, he actively discouraged
me. He was more excited about
me becoming part of the news

is perhaps the moat difficult. He
Bn't sure what he wants to do
with his law degree. But there's a
good chance he might not even
use it to practice law.
"IN D.C., you can engage in
other things besidee law,' Fried-
man said. "It ia a good education
if you never ever crack another
law book. Applying it to other
fields is possible also. Going to
law school is intellectually stimu-
lating, whatever you do with the
degree. It's not a waste of time."
And time is something Fried-
man knows is precious and well
counted. Besides his family life,
he's working full-time in Wash-
"I'm just not home anymore,"
he said. "I get home 8 to 9 every
night. On Saturday and Sunday
I'm studying. It is tough. You
have to prioritize your life and
make some trade offs. You have
to share a little from each thing
you're doing so you don't destroy
any one of them."
Like Friedman, Lee Slosberg, a
49-year-old insurance sales
"* executive and estate planner,
found that law school was a way
to complement an already suc-
cessful career. And while he feels
certain that the practice of law
isn't necessarily part of his fu-
ture, Slosberg will apply what
he's learned to the financial
"IT'S BEEN a real sense of ac-
complishment," he said. "A law
degree is another professional
backup. Going to law school was
almost like therapy for me. I
heard lectures that were so good
I'd have paid to just hear them
even if I wasn't in law school."
Slosberg graduated from
Brooklyn College in New York in
1959, as a business major. But
because of tight finances back
then, he couldn't afford law
school. The location of the uni-
versity right across the street
from his office made it convenient
for hhn to try at this stage of his
^ "You know age doesn't make
any difference in law school," he
said. "There were people in their
20s and 30s there coming back. If
anything I made a whole lot of
good acquaintances while I was
there. Going back to law school
was always in my mind. This waa
just the best time for me."
Slosberg also said that some
people he works with in the busi-
ness community now look at him
a bit differently now that he has a
law degree.
"I THINK they hold me as a
person on a higher level of esteem
since I ve gone through law
school, he said. "Not everyone
knows I ve done this, but the
ones who find out look at me a bit
differently, I think."
Coining back to law school
isn t always a guarantae of auto-
matic success. And while Beverly
Falcon didn't have statistics on
drop outa, she did say that the
University offers its returning
students a counselor to help ease
the transition from housewife or
businessperson to student.
After a few years away, people
miss "the intellectual stimulation
of learning on a continual basis,"
Falcon said. "The students
sometimes get into problems

thing that might be over their
"It's a big change," Dean Katz
"But still, applications are at
an all time high and it's partly
because, as Dean Katz put it, "a
law degree is one of the most
flexible you can have."
BRUCE ZIMMER, executive
director of the Law School Ad-
missions Council in Washington,
D.C., sees the type of person
coming back to law school aa a
direct reflection on society.
"We live in a society where
women are experiencing a special
development period," Zimmer
said, "and now in law schools,
they compose about 40 percent of
the average enrollment. Also on
the whole, society is aging.
There's a population bulge in the
late 20s and early 30s. There are
fewer younger people around age
21 to draw from for law school."
Zimmer also said that while
there has been a growth of about
40 percent of people over 30 at-
tending law school, this same age
group still only compromises
about 15 percent of the total law
school enrollment in the United
"Why law school? Well, more
and more people are finding that
law provides a more tangible,
measureable kind of study, con-
tinued Zimmer. "Medical school
and dental school have a great
deal more prerequisites to even
qualify. Plus there is a longer
time period involved. Older peo-
ple can't expect to go through the

"The major social trends are
much larger than law school," he
continued. "But the social trends
always show in in legal educa-

going to bring a wide variety of
backgrounds to it."
KATHY KOFFEE. 27 brought

and paralegal and publishing
work to the law school when she

"I had always toyed with go-
ing to law school," said Koffee,
who is expecting her first child
around mid-semester break. "I
just never made a commitment to
go. But in the work world, I just
went aa far aa I could go before I
thought it was time to go. I
didn't want to get into sales. I
didn't feel I had enough specific
sellable skills. But I realized one
thing about law school: it's a
good ticket."
"Law school," she continued,
"is an intelectual trade school.
With it you can get a pretty
marketable degree, and you don't
necessarily have to practice law."
Koffee said that she would
probably use her law school
training in some sort of poverty
group involvement. She said that
many older men and women go to
law school to better understand
their careers or to help a cause
that they're involved with.
"LAW SCHOOL itself is much
more difficult than college," she
said, "But I don't think it's as
difficult as working."
To Janice Salzman, 36, the idea
of becoming respected as a
lawyer was what looked best
about the whole concept of re-
turning to school.
"In my case, I have some
- friends who went right into law
school after college," she said. "I
was a teacher before raising my
kids, but I was always interested
in law. The challenge was there. I
also looked to the future. I have
three children. If I can get a a
good job from law school, I'll be
able to be more independent, help
them with college.
"At first I thought I'd just get
a job that would keep me busy
during the day," she continued.
"But I wanted something more,
and if it took law school, than I
had to try it."
BOTH Janice Salzman and
Sarah Schabes know what it's
like to maintain a household and
pursue a law career at the same
time. Both knew it would not be
easy but felt it was worth the

Note of Encouragement
In the midst of Israel's agony, it is heartening to
note that the Jewish nation stands solidly behind a
campaign to inquire into the events surrounding the
Shatila and Sabra massacres outside of Beirut on
Sept. 16 to 18.
Israelis and Jews throughout the world are
paying heavily for this most disastrous occurrence.
Particularly for Israel, the political consequences are
Still, that is another issue from the ancient Jewish
impulse to come to moral terms with actions that are
deemed unacceptable. In these dark days, instead of
feeling profoundly disturbed, we should be en-
couraged by Israel's determination to discover the
This determination is a sign of courage the
courage to pay even more than the obvious political
consequences should an inquiry conclude that the
fault lies elsewhere than with the Christian
Phalangists gone berserk following the assassination
of Bashir Gemayel.
Israel Reacts Coolly to Exit
Of Egypt's Ambassador Mortada
JERUSALEM (JTA) Israel has kept its reaction
deliberately low-key to the anouncemernt that Egyptian
Ambassador Saad Mortada has been summoned home for
consultations. Mortada delivered the news personally to
Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir and later met at his own
request for close to an hour with President Yitzhak
BOTH ISRAELI leaders expressed the hope that he
would be back soon, and he, according to Israeli sources,
joined in that hope.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials said that Israel's Ambas-
sador to Egypt, Moshe Sasson, who was in Jerusalem on
home leave for Rosh Hashanah, would return to his post
as scheduled when his leave ended. There was no intention
of "reciprocating" by keeping Sasson here "for con-
sultations," too, the officials said.

Cabinet Angrily Rejects
Continued from Page 1
events in Beirut which have been
strongly condemned by the
Egyptian government. But this
fell far short of a rupture of diplo-
matic relations with Israel.
FOREIGN MINISTER Kamal
Hassan Ali dispatched a note to
UN Secretary General Javier
Perez de Cuellar calling Israel
solely to blame for the massacre
of civilians in the Palestinian
refugee camps in west Beirut
"because of its occupation of the
Lebanese capital." The note re-
ferred to "the bestial acts of Is-
rael in Lebanon."
The army, meanwhile,
acknowledged that eight Isareli
soldiers were killed and about 100
wounded a dozen seriously
since Israeli forces occupied west
Beirut following the assassina-
tion of President-Elect Bashir
Gemayel, leader of the Phalan-
gist party. Three of the dead were
killed when their tank was blown
up, apparently by a rocket
launched grenade.
The escalating crisis caused
Begin to summon his Cabinet
into extraordinary session imme-
diately after the conclusion of the
Rosh Hashanah holiday. The
government communique, read to
reporters by Cabinet Secretary
Dan Meridor, referred to only one
of the refugee camps, Shatila,
which is adjacent to the Sabra
camp. It said:
"IN A PLACE where there
was no position of the Israeli
army, a Lebanese unit entered a
refugee center where terrorists
were hiding in order to apprehend
them. This unit caused many
casualties to innocent civilians.
We state this fact with deep grief
and regret.
"The IDF (Israel Defense
Force), as soon as it learned of
the tragic events in the Shatila
camp, put an end to the slaughter
of the innocent civilian popula-
tion and forced the Lebanese
units to evacuate the camp. The
civilian population itself gave
clear expression to its gratitude
to the act of salvation by the
"All the direct or the implicit
accusations that the IDF bears
any blame whatsoever for this
human tragedy in the Shatila
camp are entirely baseless and
without any foundation. The
Government of Israel rejects
them with the contempt they de-
serve. The fact remains that
without the intervention of the
IDF, there would have been
much greater loss of life.
"Despite the internal incite-
ment, we call upon the people of
Israel to unite around its demo-
cratically elected government in
its struggle for security and
peace for Israel and all her citi-
zens. No one would preach to us
ethics and respect for human
lives, values on which we have
dedicated and we will continue
to dedicate generations of Is-
raeli fighters."
ISRAEL OFFICIALS said
that the Phalangists entered the
refugee camps to search for ter-
rorists and arms supplies. They
encountered resistance in the
camps and that was when the
killings started, the officials said.
They claimed that Israeli forces
in the vicinity heard the shooting
but believed it was an encounter
with the terrorists.
No one could think or know
that the Phalangists would carry
out a massacre inasmuch as Is-
rael believed tempers had cooled
in the days following Gemayel s
assassination, officials said.
Ironically. Israel had justified
its occupation of west Beirut, in
face of strung remonstrations
from Washington, in part on
grounds that it sought to prevent
Phalangists from wreaking
bloody revenge for the aaaaseina-
tion of their leader. Israel also
fi^iml it had been hoodwinked
by the Palestine Liberation Or-
ganization and that at least 2.000
armed PLO terrorists remained
;n west Beirut after their main
body evacuated the city last
Athough the Cabinet accepted
the UN Security Council's call to
station UN observers in west
Beirut, it rejected an American
demand that two or three
UNIFIL battalions from south
Lebanon be transfered there. Is-
rael is insisting that the Lebanese
army take over the positions
presently held by Israeli forces.
FOREIGN MINISTER Yitz-
hak Shamir was expected to send
U.S. Secretary of State George
Shultz a cable expressing Israel's
readiness to allow some 40 UN
observers into west Beirut, in ac-
cordance with the Security Coun-
cil resolution. Shamir reportedly
received a strongly worded mes-
sage from Shultz demanding Is-
rael's immediate withdrawal from
west Beirut.
Meanwhile, an analysis of
army and other official state-
ments *nd pronouncements over
m. holiday weekend revealed
many contradictions and incon-
sistencies. Defense Minister
Sharon claimed that Israeli forces
"surrounded the (refugee)
camps." Chief of Staff Gen.
Rafael Eitan said Israeli forces
were positioned only at the west-
ern periphery of the camps, leav-
ing their eastern approaches open
for the Phalangist forces.
While some Israeli reports said
Phalangist elements who entered
the camp did so on their own
authority, other official reports
stated that they were sent in by
the Israeli army on orders of
higher civilian authorities, to
help, or carry out alone, the
search for PLO terrorists be-
lieved hiding in the camps.
GALEI ZAHAL. the Israel
armed forces radio, reported from
Beirut on that fateful Thursday,
that the IDF had "decided to
leave the cleansing of the Sabra
and Shatila refugee camps to the
Phalange force." The broadcast
was repeated during the night
but discontinued early Friday
Zeev Schiff. the respected mili-
tary correspondent of the inde-
pendent daily Haaretz, reported
that he had learned early Friday
morning that a slaughter had oc-
curred in the refugee camps dur-
ing the night.
Schiff was understood to have
passed his information on to
Communications Minister Mor-
dechai Zipori who, in turn, con-
veyed it to Shamir Friday
morning. But Shamir told the
Cabinet that he had first learned
jf the massacre Friday night.
When reminded by Zipori that
he had given him the information
Friday morning, Shamir re-
portedly told aides that he
"treated Zipori's statement like
he treated many other reports by
him with suspicion." He added
that he had checked with the
army which told him it knew
nothing of a massacre. But this
apparently was hours after the
massacre occurred and hours af-
ter the army had intervened to
get the Phalangists out of th
camp area.
HIRSH GOODMAN, military
correspondent of the Jerusalem
Post, reported that Israel intelli-
gence services had warned Begin
and Sharon of the danger of a
blood feud between the unarmed
Palestinians in the camps and the
armed Phalangists groups. Ob-
servers here noted that the Mid-
dle East in general, and Lebanon
in particular, have a long history
of blood feuds, something Israeli
leaders could not have been un-
aware of.
Christians and Druze flashed
in Lebanon some months ago un-
til Israeli soldiers intervened.
Maj. Haddad's forces have beer
accused of murdering many
women and children in South
Lebanon after Israel invaded that
region in the Litani River cam-
paign of 1978.
While refugee camp survivors
were claiming that Haddad's men
took part in the massacre, this
was denied by Haddad and by Is-
raeli officers. Haddad claimed
that the Israeli forces had pre-
vented his men from advancing
beyond the Awali River, just
north of Sidon in south Lebanon.
But Israeli officers reported that
"at least one" of Haddad's mili-
tiamen was shot when Israeli
troops acted to oust the Phalan-
gists from the area.
REPORTS FROM Beirut said
surviving refugees were fleeing
the camps in panic when rumors
spread that Haddad's men were
returning. The refugees tried to
rush past an Israel army road-
block but were turned back when
> Israeli troops fired into the air.
Israeli sources said the panic
ended when Lebanese security
forces persuaded the refugees
that the reports of Haddad's re-
turn were baseless.
At a Cabinet session, Begin re-
portedly linked the west Beirut
crisis with President Reagan's
plan for the West Bank and
Palestinian autonomy, an-
nounced by the President Sept. 1
and immediately and categorical-
ly rejected by the Begin govern-
ment. He reportedly accused the
Reagan Administration of using
the west Beirut crisis to force Is-
rael to accept the Reagan plan.
One senior political source was
quoted as saying, "West Beirut
is the turning point in relations
between the two countries" (Is-
rael and the U.S.). Although
there was criticism in the Cabinet
against the decision to occupy
west Beirut taken by Begin
and Sharon without consulting
their fellow ministers objec-
tions, if any, by the ministers at-
tending the meeting were kept off
the record.
BEGIN REJECTED all criti-
cism of Israel. He said the Cabi-
net ministers knew of the plan to
allow the Phalangists to enter the
Palestinian camps to get rid of
the remaining terrorists. Nobody
could have surmised the results,
Begin said. He dismissed criti-
cism around the Cabinet table as
"wisdom after the event."

Elliott Meyrowitz, adjunct assis-
tant professor at CSL.
ACCORDING to Prof. Meyro-
witz, the course will analyze the
nature of the international
system and changes in that
system that have come about as a
result of the emergence of nuclear
Prof. Meyrowitz said the
course also will deal with the
scientific effects and conse-
quences of the use of nuclear
weapons and the strategic doc-
trines that deal with nuclear
weapons. Finally, the course will
try to establish a framework to
analyze questions about the
legality or illegality of nuclear
weapons, under international
"If nuclear weapons are il-
legal," Prof. Meyrowitz said,
"that raises another question to
be studied: How do you control
this kind of weapon?"
Both sides in the nuclear arms
debate will be discussed in full,
Prof. Meyrowitz said.
"WE WILL also discuss future
trends and directions in the inter-
national system," Prof. Meyro-
witz added. "Not just law per ae,
but also questions of policy and
of justice."
Dean Price said the course re-
flects his belief that "it is im-
portant to take issues of great
national concern that have legal
ramifications and provide
analysis for those issues in a law
school setting."
"We hope this course can add
constructively to the debate and
discussion that is occurring
throughout the country," Price

|Pink Lemonade Cupcakes for Valentine's Day
Pink. It's not just a singer with a sassy attitude and flamboyant style. It's also the colour that fills my mind when I think of Valentine's Day. Swirls of colour — shades of pink and red, pretty and girly in a heart-shaped package.
|Swirly pink yumminess
|Which one should I eat first?
Pink Lemonade Cupcakes
Based on a recipe from Cast Sugar
Makes 24 cupcakes
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 egg whites
3/4 cup frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
Red food colouring
- Pre-heat oven to 350° F.
- In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well blended. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment, whisk together sugar, oil, egg whites, pink lemonade concentrate and vanilla until well blended.
- Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture; whisk until blended.
- Add half the buttermilk, whisk until blended.
- Continue alternately adding flour mixture and buttermilk until everything is mixed together. Do not over mix.
- Add food colouring, one drop at a time, until you get a nice pink colour.
- Pour batter into paper cupcake cups in a muffin pan so that the cups is about 3/4 full of batter.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean.
- Cool completely before frosting with Pink Lemonade Buttercream Frosting (recipe below).
|I love how pink the cupcake is on the inside
Makes enough to frost 24 cupcakes
1 cup butter, room temperature
4 cups icing sugar
6 tablespoons frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Water, if needed
Red food colouring
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter on medium high speed until pale and fluffy.
- Add icing sugar, vanilla and pink lemonade concentrate and beat on low speed until completely mixed together. If the icing is still too thick, add water one teaspoon at a time, beating after each addition, until you get a spreadable consistency.
- Add food colouring, a drop at a time, beating after each addition, until you get a pink colour you like.
- Pipe or spread onto cupcakes. Decorate with sprinkles.

By now you've already heard the debate about Microsoft's newest development…Surface™. On the one hand, you have a lot of hype about the design and the features. On the other hand, you have the naysayers who harken back to the Microsoft ZUNE's inability to compete with the iPod and speculate that Surface™ won't do any better in challenging the iPad. In a situation like this, the only way to form an accurate opinion is to physically experience the technology – to actually hold it in your hand and see how it works. That's why I am so glad that I was fortunate enough to be included in the invitation only presentation where Steve Ballmer and his team unveiled their newest project to the press.
Surface™ is a hybrid between a tablet and a laptop. While it's only a first step, it may actually point the way toward the future of what mobile computing will become. It functions as both a touch screen tablet and a work-flow computer. To that end, it has a USB port that will make transfer of data effortless. Instead of being totally dependent upon apps, Surface™ will operate the complete Windows suite of software.
The cover opens into a full keyboard that includes directional arrow keys and a mouse pad. In spite of the fact that it is unbelievably thin, there are cooling vents on all four sides. The casing of the Surface uses a combination of materials and process to mold metal and deposit particles to create a finish that resembles a luxury watch. Thanks to the magnesium used in its construction, the casing parts are thinner than the typical credit card. The remarkable thing is that when you hold it in your hands and try to twist it from either side it does not have any give. The touch screen is made from Corning Gorilla Glass 2.0, which makes it scratch and crack resistant. The magnesium casing renders it exceptionally sturdy. If you want more detail, you can read about all the specifications at www.SURFACE.com.
Here's why I think Surface™ is going to grab market share from the Apple iPad and become a must-have device. It does all of the things that an iPad does – but it goes further. Whereas Apple is adamant about the fact that the iPad is NOT a computer, Surface™ is all that and more. It can be used for both passive consumption and active creation of content. Perhaps the most important factor is that it runs all of the traditional software that most businesses – especially small businesses – use for their day to day operations. At a point in time where we are being multi-tasked to death, Surface™ offers complete connectivity to the office while you are at home or out in the field. This could be especially effective for working Moms, who often have to juggle flex-time positions with child care obligations. Trust me – been there, done that, wish I had a tool like this while I was doing it.
So the big question everyone's asking is…why was the Microsoft Surface unveiled in Hollywood? My guess is that since we are the content creation capital of the world, it further emphasizes the idea that this machine is designed to be different from all the other tablets. The pro version – available 90 days after the initial release of the consumer version – will be capable of running production and post-production software. The ability to manage that kind of information with a tool that weighs less than 2 lbs. will offer a measure of convenience that can enhance the creative experience.
Surface™ isn't available yet. Microsoft is being extremely coy about when it will be. My best guess would be that either the end of summer back-to-school shopping rush or "Black Friday" (the day after Thanksgiving that signals the official start of the holiday shopping season) would be likely target dates for the launch. In the meantime, Microsoft sent out a warning shot that anyone thinking of getting a new iPad ought to consider waiting until they see the new Surface™. At the same time, Microsoft has covertly started the biggest focus group in the world. They can sit back and listen to the online and media chatter while addressing concerns that are raised and wish lists that are bandied about. In the meantime, I'll be writing my letter to Santa. I want the pink one!

What Black Friday Sales Might Look Like
Third-quarter earnings reports from Wal-Mart and Target suggest a busy retail season might be ahead, Andria Cheng reports on Markets Hub. Photo: AP.

Many DVD "special editions" are cynical attempts to seduce consumers into buying something they already own. But, four years after Warner Home Video's last edition of "Ben-Hur," the company is putting out a DVD set that merits the revisit. In keeping with the mega-scope of the biblical epic, this collector's edition offers four discs with 10 hours of extras, including a smart documentary and the 1925 silent version of the pic, making its DVD debut.
When MGM's film bowed in 1959, comic Mort Sahl famously wisecracked, "Loved him, hated Hur." That dichotomy has followed the film over the years, with fans proclaiming it one of the pinnacles of Hollywood filmmaking, and detractors rolling their eyes at its oversized style mixed with an old-fashioned sensibility.
Even the film's detractors may be converted after listening to the info in the DVD's docus. "Ben-Hur: The Epic That Challenged Cinema," produced and directed by Gary Leva, offers folks like George Lucas, Ridley Scott, Arnon Milchan and Michael Douglas talking about the film's influence on pics as diverse as "Bullitt," "The Matrix," "Star Wars," "Gladiator" and "The Aviator."
Each of the doc's 10 chapters tackles a different area of study. Cinematographers Janusz Kaminski and Ernest Dickerson talk about "Ben-Hur's" composition and lighting; sound man Ben Burtt praises the audio effects (and lack of music) in the chariot race. In one of the more interesting segments, production designers Anthony Pratt and Arthur Max weigh the virtues of matte paintings vs. CGI vs. actual sets.
Editor Joel Cox, director Frasier Heston and d.p. Caleb Deschanel offer insights as the doc intercuts the chariot race with the pod-racer sequence from "Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace."
Fourth disc includes another good hourlong film that was included in the 2001 DVD, the 1993 Turner Entertainment docu "Ben-Hur: The Making of an Epic," produced and directed by Scott Benson and written/co-produced by May Adair Kaiser. The film provides an overview of "Ben-Hur," from the 1880 book by General Lew Wallace, through an early stage version (the chariot race featured horses running on treadmills), the silent pic and the making of the 1959 version, concluding with its then-record-setting 11 Oscar wins.
Footage from the April 4, 1960, kudocast is choppily edited, with winners mysteriously appearing out of nowhere to grab their trophy. Still, the segment is a lot of fun. Even hardcore movie buffs may have a tough time identifying some of those presenters, but it's easy to see why kudocasts were shorter in those days. Most acceptance speeches consist of one sentence ("My humble thanks to everybody!"); accepting as best director, Wyler was one of the longest-winded winners, with a 13-second speech.
Also entertaining are the trailers from the era, which exclaim flatly that this is "the finest motion picture achievement in screen history!" and "the entertainment experience of a lifetime!" It's a reminder that studios always revved up the hype, but once did it without the benefit of online blurbmeisters.
There is also a "Ben-Hur collector's edition with Bible Study Guide," written by Rev. Robert H. Schuller and his son Rev. Robert A. Schuller, co-chairmen of Crystal Cathedral Ministries. The special edition will be available at DVD stores and Christian retail stores.
The film looks terrif, in a newly remastered print from the original 65mm film elements. Also included are a new audio commentary by film historian T. Gene Hatcher (interspersed with vintage comments from Heston); screen tests, including Leslie Nielsen's; and newsreels.
The silent version, restored by Thames Television and with a scored by Carl Davis, is new to DVD, though the Fred Niblo-helmed version had been released on VHS. This silent film merits its own extras; there are none here. Maybe they're waiting for the deluxe super-bonus-special-collector's six-disc version someday.

Crime had new meaning and the police were busy raiding speakeasies and arresting bootleggers and rum-runners. Opinions were very divided on this issue, as there were people celebrating at the beginning and at the end of the era. - Leanne Burden Seidel and Lisa Tuite

In the APV courtyard, an enlarged vinyl poster of Dr. King covers half of one wall, opposite another poster of Gandhi and Khan Abdul Gaffir Khan, the "Muslim Gandhi" who led Pathan tribes in the nonviolent Khudai Khidmatgar colonial independence movement to resist the British Empire. Zekerullah's makeshift "bell' was suspended next to King's poster. Several dozen friends joined the APVs as we listened to rattles rather than pealing bells.

Here in this historic multi-cultural city of Jews, Muslims and Christians we rang the bell of freedom in Dr. King's memory. As a former SCOPE volunteer in the summers of 1965 and 66, my entire professional life as an educator has been forever influenced and enriched by my association with Dr. King. Both KIVUNIM (www.kivunim.org) and The Abraham Joshua Heschel School in NYC that I founded are a product of his role in my life and thought. Moroccans asked us, what the bell was for? And when we told them, they knew the significance and power of his message and his voice. May his memory be for a blessing. Peter Geffen.

easyJet introduces new designed lightweight seats
easyJet, the UK's largest airline, is today introducing new, lightweight and more comfortable seats onboard all of its new aircraft. The first of 14 new aircraft with the new seats onboard is being delivered today with the remainder due for delivery between now and the end of next summer.
The look of the cabin has also been redesigned to create a more modern feel. The new seat cover is grey with orange accents and is complimented by a new carpet and specially designed easyJet orange aisle lighting.
The SL3510 seat, ergonomically designed and manufactured by Recaro, optimises a combination of foams to provide the best comfort and support for the passenger. The backrest is at a 15 degree angle for a relaxed seating position and the slimmer backrest provides more space for passengers. As well as the customer benefits the new seat will also improve fuel efficiency and reduce C02 emissions due to the seat being lighter.
Peter Duffy, Marketing Director for easyJet, commented:
"easyJet has chosen the Recaro seat because we really believe that it will provide a more comfortable flight and that our passengers will notice the difference.
"It has been ergonomically designed with the comfort of the passenger top of mind so the backrest angle is pre-defined for a relaxed sitting position and the seat is designed to provide more space for passengers.
"easyJet's new seat selection also has the passengers' wallets in mind - the lighter weight brings fuel savings which in turn enables us to continue to maintain our low fares – even when fuel prices remain at historic highs."
Recaro, based in Germany, is a global supplier of premium aircraft seats. The new seats offer greater simplicity with over 100 fewer parts. The Recaro developers have focused on the seat's ergonomic qualities. The netting in the aluminum frame conforms to the shape of the passenger's spine. Because of the slim backrest, the seat also offers a maximum of space, meaning that passengers enjoy a very comfortable flight.
Recaro Aircraft Seating has won several awards for this innovative and environmentally sustainable seat development, including the industry's Crystal Cabin Award in the "Industrial Design/Interior Concept" category.
The new, lightweight seat is just one example of easyJet's commitment to reducing CO2 emissions. The airline has always scrutinised all aspects of its flying to ensure it operates in the most efficient way. Due to easyJet's simple, efficient operations an easyJet passenger's carbon footprint is already 22% less than a passenger on a traditional airline flying on the same route and aircraft.
Along with the new seat easyJet is also introducing lightweight trolleys onboard as well as aerodynamic improvements like sharklets, an enlarged wing tip which makes the wing more efficient.

After a promising beginning, Bob has become a paunchy, middle-aged man with little bird legs and low self esteem. Corporate America has all but broken his spirit and robbed him of his will to live, but, with the help of powerful medication, he somehow finds the inner strength to amuse himself by drawing mindless sketches and making pointless videos. He lives in Atlanta, can't get a date and spends his spare time watching his hair turn white.
