. .EDITOR’S NOTE: Lait year, Don Rom, The
Oklahoma Eagle’s general manager, traveled
throughout Israel with a delegation of 13
American Journalists two months before
Menachem Begin’s Party came into power. With
the heightened possibility of peace after the
Camp David Agreement between Israel and
Egupt, hopefully this series will offer an insight
into that troubled land. The six-part series first
appeared in the Gary Post-Tribune where Ross
was formerly Assistant Managing Editor.

According to Art Buchwald, he’s in serious trouble.
“There’s nothing funny in Washington; everything’s
going too well. Carter’s really not that funny a president. I
guess Nixon was the greatest President of humorists;
Watergate was my Camelot. I didn’t make the enemies
list, but I still thought that Nixon was the funniest. He lied
a lot.”
Another trouble with political humor right now is that
people are not as interested as they were during the

less.
People will ha ve to be called and meetings canceled.
As our Mercedes-Benz passes through the narrow
streets of Jerusalem, one quickly understands why Israel
has one of the world’s highest automobile casualty rates.
Drivers seem to accept as a challenge the notion of
steering on both sides of the street.
Bobi is apparently an expert in these highway duels.
Even though there are several near misses, he has yet to
use his horn.
Rifle-toting soldiers are everywhere- on the boulevards
and mingling in the crowds. This military presence is one
reminder that Israelis view liberty as an ongoing

acquisition. The state considers itself under seige.
One wonders if this anticipation of war, when peace does
come, will leave Israelis with a seige mentality as part of
their national character?
Dr. Israel Katz, director of a Jewish welfare
organization, tells us later he has some concerns that so
many wars will make this attitude a fact of national life
and it may evolve as repressive toward non-Jews.
Along the shoulders of the always- curving roads, in the
valleys below, and on the hillsides, are thousands of stones
and boulders of every size and dimension.
Some of the mountains of stones have historical
signifance. Others, Bobi tells us, are just as they seem -

The construction on Cincinnati
Avenue between 43rd Street North
and 46th Street North should be
completed within 30 days, according
to Paul Strizek, administrative
assistant to Street Commissioner
James Hewgley III.
Strizek said that the engineer for
the project had been to the site to
inspect the progress and reported
that the construction had been held
up earlier due to a water line
break at 43rd Street North. He

In town to address the Tulsa Town Hall Friday mor-
ning, Buchwald held a press conference at the Williams
Plaza Hotel Thursday night, where he discussed subjects
ranging from the Washington Redskins and the New York
Yankees to an underground railroad from the MX missile
system.
"The Pentagon is talking about building and un-

The other 5 percent, would be

"Of course, if we have a lot of

progress will be considerably slowed
down, but if things keep going the

JERUSALEM -'This has to be one of the world's most
historic and eloquent cities.
Old ways clash with new ways in a kaleidoscope of
cultures both urban and rural.
New hotels and office building compete with ancient
structures for dominance in the city’s character.
Despite the slum clearance and new construction, the
city remains the Jerusalem of old - the Holy City.
It is now Sunday.
Strains have developed in the tour sponsored by the U.S.
Youth Council and hosted by the Council of Youth
Movements in Israel.
The schedule, however, has been prepared by the
foreign ministry.
The evening before, the journalists had met and
presented our government guide with “their schedule."
She had accepted the changes with a forced smile.
