Weisgal-- Salesman of Immortality Institution. Weisgal and Adams came from different backgrounds, but both had one common characteristic—a great respect for learning. Adams, of course, came from a more affluent back- ground. The Adams family was of the American aris- tocracy. Weisgal was the son of poor Polish Jewish immigrants. As a boy he sold newspapers on the streets. There was a kind of exu- berant roughness about him. You always knew when Weisgal was around. One time on a ship with Dr. Chaim Weizmann, Weisgal said he was going to com- municate with America. A friend asked Weizmann if that meant Weisgal was going to communicate by radio with the American mainland. "Weisgal doesn't need a telephone," said Weizmann. "If he just talks, they will hear him in Chicago." He was a man of many facts. First of all, he distin- guished himself as editor of The New Palestine. He made that paper a virile force for Zionism. At that time, his job was to con- vince the American Jews not to answer the Arabs. The Arabs were too busy then trying to sell land in Palestine to the Zionists. Weisgal was also a suc- cessful theatrical producer, producing the Bible spec- tacle, "The Eternal Road" with the cooperation of Max Reinhardt, Franz Werfel and Kurt Weil. He directed "The Romance of a People". at the Chicago World's Fair. He was also a star fund- raiser. Few could match his ability to extricate money from the rich for good causes. Many stories are related of his genuis in that direction. One time he asked a rich man to have dinner with him at a restau- rant. The rich man then responded to his appeal by writing a.check for $25,000. Weisgal looked at the amount of the check. "The meal has already been paid for," he said, tearing up the check. He would accept no piddling amounts. So he got the financing of the Weizmann science cen- ter. Weisgal didn't regard himself as a fund-raiser. He thought of himself not as one soliciting for charity but as a businessman who gave something in return. The rich donor might have a hall or building named after him in return. What greater honor could there be than association with an institution fostering scien- tific progress. "I sell immortality," Weisgal liked to say. He was a salesman of immortality.
