Golda Demands
Change in Book

Former Israeli Prime
Minister Golda Meir has
demanded retraction of a
passage in a new book pub-
lished by Harper & Row,
alleging it defames her
character.
The book, "The Education
of Lev Navrozov," alleges
that Mrs. Meir gave Stalin
in 1948 a list of Russian
Jews supporting Israel,
which ultimately led to
their disappearance in Rus-
sia.
The American Jewish
Committee's commentary
magazine published the
same information recently,
and Mrs. Meir filed a $3 mil-
lion damage suit against the
magazine after it refused a
retraction.

People of the Book

In the economy of human-
ity. to Israel was assigned
the _function to he the
the Book." Duty
was-.:iL,77 dower. Righteous-
ness through private sancti-
fication and social coopera-
tion in enjoining justice was
his incessant obsession. His
history was so guided that
in every deeper measure the
consciousness took posses-
sion of Israel that this
priesthood was his task at
the altar of humanity. No
merit of his entitled him to
this sacerdotal mitre. Mod-
estly he ascribed his ap-
pointment to the "merit" of
his fathers. Their "love" had
won for him the call to his
responsibilities. The grace
of God had chosen him not
to higher prerogatives but to
sterner obligations.
—Emil G. Hirsch

York Medical Center.
Graduate fellowships at
Brandeis University and
Revson Plaza at Columbia
University also are named
for him.
