Michigan has been going downhill for the past few years. PE311
poisoning our milk and meat. A Single Business Tasx that is
destroying small businesses. Deadly delay in banning tandem
tankers. Abuse of children in state mental, health facilities.,

Michigan needs a new manager. A man with the energy and
toughness to get things moving again.

We believe VVilliam Fitzgerald , the Democratic candidate for
Governor, is that man.
_
He's prepared for the job in Lansing . . . named one of the "ten
outstanding Legislatbrs in America," State Majdrity Leader,
Chairman of the House Economic Development and the Senate
Business and Transportation Committees. And he's the first
gubernatorial candidate in Michigan history to have the committ-
ment to name a woman running mate.
We know William Fitzgerald personally. That's why we know he
can do the job well.
When the business isn't running well
you should get a new man.

Adopting for its title the
slogan of the United Jewish
Appeal, "We Are One!" (An-
chor Press) is the new book
by Melvin I. Urofsky which
examines in depth the var-
ied and intricate relation-
ships between American
Jews and Israel.
Prof. Urofsky will speak
at the Jewish Book Fair 8
p.m. Nov. 15 at the main
Jewish Community Center.
His talk is entitled "The
History of The People of
History" and is co-
sponsored by Jewish Na-
tional Fund and the Zionist
Organization of Detroit.
' Very much a sequel to his
highly praised "American
Zionism From Herzl to The
Holocaust," Urofsky's "We
Are One!" begins with the
period 1942-1948, when
American Zionism and its
leaders occupied center
stage in the fight to create
an autonomous Jewish
homeland in Palestine.
Relying on original re-
search and first-hand inter-
views both here and abroad,
Urofsky then chronicles the
spread of support for Israel
to nearly all Diaspora Jews
during the subsequent,
crisis-ridden years of Is-
rael's existence.
Timely and unflinching
in tone, Mr. Urofsky's
analysis assumes major
significance, particularly
in the context of the UN's
1975 resolution equating
Zionism with racism.
Melvin I. Urofsky is pro-
fessor of history and chair-
man of the Department of
History at Virginia Com-
monwealth University in
Richmond. He is the author
of "American Zionism from
Herzl to the Holocaust,"
"Big Steel and the Wilson
Administration: A Study in
Business-Government Re-
lations," "A Mind of One
Piece: Brandeis and Ameri-
can Reform," editor of "Why
Teachers Strike,". and co-
editor of "Letters of Louis D.
Brandeis."
Gloria Goldreich, whose
first novel, "Leah's Jour-
ney" (Harcourt Brace
Jovanovich), has just been
published, will speak at
Book Fair, 10 a.m. Nov. 15.
Her topic will be "Jewish
Literature — Jewish Survi-
val" and is sponsored by -
Alpha Omega and
Maimonides Auxiliaries.
"Leah's Journey" is a
novel of family relation-
ships and cultural heritage
— of the journeys people
make and of the Jewish ex-
perience in 20th Century
America. Leah's saga be-
gins when she is left raped
and widowed in 1919 in
Russia during a brutal pog-
rom. Anguished but strong,
she is determined to seek
happiness.
For companionship
Leah marries a kind,
long-time friend who has
also lost his mate, and
they emigrate to Ameri-
ca's "counterpart" of
Jewish Europe ... the
lower East Side of New
York.
Leah journeys through a
young womanhood of
nightmares and lost
dreams, sweatshops, rais-
ing a family . . . tortured
Over whether her first-born
was fathered by her rapist
and supporting her
student-husband even
while having a love affair
with Eli.
Gloria Goldreich is a
popular short-story writer
and the author of several
bobks for children and
young adults. Her essays
and stories have appeared
in Commentary,
Midstream, Redbook, and
many other popular maga-
zines.
