In a recent column in the
New York Post, Leonard Lyons
for a FREE demonstration
wrote:
"Meyer Weisgal, chairman of
the Executive Council of the
Weizmann Institute, has two
sons—one at Brandeis Univ., the
other, Michael Wager, who won
fine notices in the new play,
"The Small Hours.' When Wager
and his wife had a late ap-
pointment in N.Y., Weisgal vol-
unteered to baby-sit for them.
Besides, the other son had sent
Weisgal a thesis he'd written
on 'Antigone' and wanted his
advice. The proud father de-
cided he could fulfill both re-
sponsibilities at once—baby-sit
and read the thesis at the same
time. When Wager returned, at
2 a.m., - Weisgal used the same
cab to take him back to his
apartment. The cabbie glanced
at Weisgal's gray hair a n d
sighed : 'At your age, a baby-
sitter. Tough.' "
Those who know Meyer share
his thrills: one son an able
Writer, the other a good 'actor,
a daughter a loyal builder of Is-
rael!
Weisgal now has an impor-
tant post with the American
Financial and Development Cor-
poration for Israel which is
