Joseph Lieberman, of New
Ha yen, Conn. a scintillating
speaker, astonished Connecticut by
breasting a Republican tide and
being elected to the state legis-
lature on the Democratic ticket. To
get the nomination he defeated
the speaker of the state senate in
a primary.
Joe Lieberman is already a
' veteran politico. He did service
the office of Senator Ribicoff,
and wrote a biography of James
Bailey as chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee.
Utterly captivating and pos-
sessed of a chemical personality,
Lieberman is the nephew of an
Orthodox rabbi, Joseph Ehren-
krantz, of Stamford, Coca, and
very comfortable and knowledgable
ble in Judaism.
The biggest vote getter in recent
New York history is Arthur Levitt,
who has bucked the Republican
sweeps again and again in New
York State to become its comp-
troller.
In the last election there were
victories for such Jews as Milton
Shapp, the new governor of Penn-
sylvania, and the re-election of
Morton Mandel and Frank Licht
as governors of Maryland and
Rhode Island.

Teacher Strike Ends;
Lydda Workers on Job
'The Other Germans'
Published by Putnam
During seven weeks in 1967-1988
the Swedish journalist Hans Axel
Holm visited the East German
village of Neustadt-Glewe. There
he interviewed more than 100 of
the 6,700 inhabitants. From these
interviews he created "The Other
Germans: A Report from an East
German Town" which is the first
lifelike and nonpartisan account
of East Germany today.
Although many of the villagers
are powerfully influenced by their
past, they are still committed to
their new life; many feared sur-
veillance while being interviewed
and yet they spoke freely; many
envied the wealth of West Ger-
many but felt contempt for their
,capitalist neighbor. Holm makes
no judgments: be is neither pro
nor anti-Communist.
The book has been published by
Putnam.
