is able to combine the two he

Ile proves it all in his newest
book—"Sex and the Single Child"
—in which he has incorporated
some of the cleverest sayings by
the young about mothers, women,
sex. the bees and the ants and the
- eggs and the seeds .
Equally as clever as the story-
telling are the illustrations by
Whitney Darrow, Jr., in this Simon
and Shuster publication.
While this book is mainly a
collection of stories, there also is
an introduction in which Leven-
son, in accordance with his estab-
lished procedure, tells of his own
experiences, the wit that stems
from his conversations with his
mother, the questions in his
childhood about the arrival of

Women was the first Jewish or-
ganization to meet with the ad-
ministration following Secretary
of State William Rogers' address
on the Mid East Dec. 9. Mrs.
Leonard H. Weiner of Detroit,
!CCM president, in a half-hour
meeting with Vice President
