Dr. Needier, a native of Man- chester, England, was raised in Denver, and received his educa- tion at Yale, Columbia and Ox- ford universities. OR% In addition to his expertise in Italian literature, Dr. Needier can call upon his knowledge of Rus- sian literature, physics and mathe- matics to make his lectures more interesting. If he's caught in a real tight spot he can always ask his wife Willa, a graduate of Barnard College in New York, about one of the finer points of English literature. Howard and Willa Needler and their infant son, Mark, recently arrived in Israel from their home in New Haven, Conn. They are presently enrolled in an Ulpan- Hebrew Language Laboratory which, in addition to giving them a working knowledge of Hebrew will give them an insight into the practical aspects of living in Is- rael.

His rejuvenation also is physical. But towards the end, when the Nazis promulgate a law that • anyone who has been re- juvenated forfeits his rights as a citizen of Germany, he feels that he had lost that recognition, too. In the course of his love affair, he had told Salome how devoted he was to the Jews, but the girl's father would not accept him. We have in this novel two extremes: .the vilest type of Nazi ideology quoted in the beginning, and the repudiation after the re- juvenation.
