The significance of Go-

the fact that the State De-

Golan himself thinks Shee-
han's favorable picture of
Kissinger was intended to
undercut his book.
The essential point,
however, as Golan cor-
rectly asks, is what did
Kissinger actually accom-
plish by his Middle East
diplomacy? "The fact,"
Golan observes, "is that

minable haggling, and

New Book Probes Kennedy Deaths
By ALLEN A. WARSEN
Speculation on who killed
President John F. Kennedy
has not ceased. Books, mag-
azine and newspaper arti-
cles continue to weigh the
various aspects of this com-
plicated case.
Recently a collection of
reprinted articles appeared
in book form under the title
"The Assassinations," pub-
lished by Vantage Books.
Edited by Peter Dale
Scott, Paul L. Hoch and
Russell Steller, the purpose
of this publication is to
serve as "A Guide to Cover-
Ups and Investigations."
The book is divided into
four sections: The Assassi-
nation of President John
F. Kennedy; Other Assas-
sinations; From Dallas to
Watergate: the Politics of
Assassination; The Rocke-
feller Commission and Its
Unanswered Questions.
The first section includes
the Warren Report, pre-
faced by the late President
Lyndon B. Johnson, fol-
lowed by articles critical to
its findings and conclusions.
They endeavor to prove Lee
Harvey Oswald's innocence,
and that more than one in-
diidual was involved in the
Kennedy assassination.
To prove the innocence of
Oswald, the critics of the
Warren Report, submitted
his tape-recorded replies to
a reporter at a press confer-
ence to a lie-detecting device
called Psychological Stress
Evaluator.
Oswald's replies: "These
people have given me a hear-
ing without legal represen-
tation or anything" and "I
didn't shoot anybody, no
sir" were proven truthful by
the PSE.
To substantiate that
more than one person par-
ticipated in the Kennedy
assassination, the critics
carefully examined the
Zapruder film that shows
the movements of Kenne-
dy's head as it was hit.
These movements, the
critics contend, are
"graphic proof of a con-
spiracy to kill the Presi-
dent — for there must have
been a gunman in front of
the car as well as behind it
The critics also assert
that medical evidence indi-
cates that the President's
head and back were hit by
two different bullets and
not by a single bullet as rec-
orded in the Warren Report.
There are numerous re-
ferences in the book to Jack
Ruby. The Warren Report
found no evidence that Jack
Ruby and Oswald knew
each other or that Ruby had
accomplices in the killing of
Oswald.
The critics of the Warren
Report, however, estab-
lished close ties among Jack
Ruby, Gen. Edwin A.
Walker, and Colonel Caster.
The last two, the critics af-
firm, tried "to arouse the
feelings of the Cuban refu-
gees in Dallas against the
Kennedy Administration."
The critics also point out
that Ruby supplied arms to
the Cuban underground and
that he "had close links to
the Dallas police, some of
whom had independent
links to the ultra-right."
In the section "Other As-
sassinations," the authors
are primarily concerned
with the fundamental prob-
lem "whether the oft-quoted
requirement of the law,
'beyond reasonable doubt
and a moral certainty,' was
met in finding guilty James
Earl Ray and Sirhan Sirhan
in the murders of Martin
Luther King and Robert F.
Kennedy respectively."
not be significantly altered
by his immediate succes-
sors. The heart of the case,
therefore, is not so much
against Kissinger the man
or his methods but on the
policy which he inherited
and bolstered. It is not a pol-
icy favored by those who
wish to see Israel as a bea-
con of true social and politi-
cal democracy to the world's
small states dedicated to
peace in freedom.
Merger Proposed for Israel Colleges
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Avraham Katz, chairman of
the Knesset's education
committee, proposed that
Israel's six institutions of
higher learning be merged
into a single large Univer-
sity of Israel in order to
solve the financial problems
affecting all of them.
The idea was promptly re-
jected by Education Minis-
ter Aharon Yadlin and Dr.
Yehoshua Rotenstreich,
chairman of the Council of
Higher Education.
Katz, a Likud MK, said
the existing six campuses
should serve as branches of
a single state university to
eliminate waste and dupli-
cation. Rotenstreich
claimed, however, that a
state university would be
unable to raise funds in the
U.S. because of the heavy
taxes imposed on contribu-
tions to national universi-
ties.
