Lois H. Brown, who has
- directed the Jewish Welfare
Federation Women's Di-
vision for nine years, has
been appointed executive
director of the Women's Di-
vision for the UJA-

past seven years.

educational programs have
also expanded greatly dur-
ing Mrs. Brown's tenure.
They now include a Speak-
ers Bureau training session,
a Welcome Wagon for new-
comers to the area, an
enlarged Communiteas pro-
gram to introduce groups of
women to Federation and
the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign, a Task Force for con-
trolled follow-up of pros-
pects and a program for
career women.
A lifelong Detroiter,
Mrs. Brown followed in
the footsteps of her
mother, Bernice Hopp, a
former Women's Division
president and national

subject that he hasn't been

million words that he's
written- for the New Yorker.
The subject is himself and

travels, pet peeves, friends,
enemies, family and above
all his magazine.
"About the New Yorker
and Me" takes the form of a
journal that Kahn kept dur-
ing the year 1977, and he
proves to be as engaging as
his readers would have im-
agined. A crossword puzzle
buff, he knocks off the New
York Times daily offering in
10 minutes. This mental
grace and suppleness is
Kahn's best tool as he hand-
les the assignments that
take him, in the course of a
year, from the world's
backgammon - cham-
pionship in Bermuda to a
sojourn through Alaska in
the company of Washington
Post editor-in-chief Ben
Bradlee.
Employing an informal
method of. association,
Kahn uses his 1977 travels
as the basis ,for digressions
about his experiences in
Communist China, South-
east Asia, South Africa and
Panama plus almost every
corner of Europe and North
America. Kahn is a man
who has been everywhere
and traveled in style.

Along the way, Kahn
describes his friendships
with such New Yorker
writers as John McPhee,
S.J. Perelman and JOhn
Cheever — Kahn's
backgammon partner
and one-time neighbor in
Scarborough; New York.
There are glimpses of
elusive personalities
ranging from _ J.D.
Salinger and John Up-
dike to Walter Cronkite
and Mikhail Baryshni-
kov.
Kahn also manages to ex-
press some gentlemanly
animosity toward his fellow
memoirist, Brendan Gill, as
well as toward other well-
known critics, avant-garde
playwrights and women
novelists, all of whom have
pretensions that Kahn finds
a bit too fancy.
