The Dead Sea Scroll of Habakkuk, one of the world's most
priceless archaeological finds, arrived from Israel aboard an El Al
airliner, accompanied by Yacov Yannai (second from right), com-
missioner of the, Israel Pavilion at Expo '67 in Montreal. The
heavily insured and guarded scroll was shipped in a special helium•
filled container for its trans-Atlantic flight and occupied a first class
..,eat in the passenger cabin to insure its maximum protection.

Aiken's Inspired Editorial

One winter day several years
ago, William A. Aiken and his
friend Mac Grogan were driving
peacefully to the Colorado Springs
Gazette Telegraph, where both
were advertising department em-
ployes. Suddently. they noticed a
nauseating display on a wall—and
then several others in various parts
of the city.
Swastikas decorating the slogan
Jews Go Home" was the greeting
that met their anguished eyes all
along the route to work. Aiken was
outraged. and Grogan. a Jew, was
sick with disgust.
When they got to the office,
Aiken relates that his Jewish friend
was - in a blue funk, holding his
head in his hands, staring at his
desk, and not saying a word." To

WILLIAM A. AIKEN

cheer up his co-worker, he sat down
and spontaneously penned a five-
paragraph note. When Grogan read
it. he immediately recognized its
extraordinary quality and insisted
that it be submitted to the paper
for publication.

Birth of An Editorial

That was the origin of an edi-
torial so moving and eloquent that
it has since been picked up by
editors from Maine to California
who hailed it as "The Editorial of
the Decade." Aiken recently re-
ceived an award from the Young
Judean Lodge of Trenton, N.J.,
where the editorial was published
in a daily newspaper and by the
local English-Jewish press.

When it appeared, readers in-
sisted on learning more about the
writer, and Aiken was traced to
Seattle. where he now lives.
In describing how he wrote the
piece, Aiken said he hadn't planned

it for publication. merely as a let-
ter to a friend, to let him know
he didn't have to "go home" that
he was home. It was, he said, "pure-
ly an emotional thing."
Aiken's celebrated editorial fol-
lows:
"A Reply to Scrawlers"
"Jews go Home"—well now,
this is nothing new. Never in the
past have you ever taken this
gentle suggestion to move on. But
Heaven forbid, suppose just this
once, you thought that expression
of a few sick people actually ex-
pressed the conviction of all the
people in this wonderful land of
ours, and all of you started to
pack your bags and leave for
parts unknown.
Just before you leave, would
you do me a favor? Would you
leave your formula for the Salk
Vaccine with me b e f ore you
leave? You wouldn't be so heart-
less as to let my children con-
tract polio?
And would you please leave
your knack for government, and
politics and persuasion and liter-
ature and good food, and fun and
love, and all those things, and
would you please leave me the
secret of your drive to succeed?
And please, have pity on us,
please show us the secret of how
to develop such geniuses as EM-
stein and Steinmetz and oh so
many others, who have helped
us all. After all, we owe you most
of the A-Bomb, most of our
rocket research and perhaps the
fact that we are alive today, in-
stead of looking up from our
chains and from our graves to
see an aging, happy Hitler drive
slowly by in one of our Cadil-
lacs.
On your way out, Jews, will
you do me just one more favor?
Will you please drive by my
house and pick me up too? I'm
just not sure I could live too well
in a land where you weren't
around to give as much as you
have given to us. If you ever
have , to leave, love goes with
you, democracy goes with you,
everything I and all my buddies
fought for in World War H goes
with you; God goes with you. Just
pull up in front of my house,
slow down and honk, because so
help me, I'm going with you, too.

Tyrants

It is worthy of observation. that
the most imperious masters over,
their own servants, are at the same
time, the most abject slaves to the
servants of other masters.
—Seneca.
