If Begin ever left Israel and settled in America, I think he could run for Con- gress and get elected. He talks .much like old Sam Adams- used to talk. He strikes the jugular, as the expression goes. He can speak without reading a speech. Nowadays, speak- ers often read their speeches. This is horrible. Imagine Patrick Henry. reading "Give me liberty or give me death." They would have given him the razz. NEW YORK (JTA) — Natalia Braz, the 41-year- old Russian refusnik who was "adopted" by Emunah Women of America last year, has received permis- sion to immigrate to Israel.

NY Einstein Play A Good Portrayal By DAVID FRIEDMAN (Copyright 1979, JTA, Inc.) NEW YORK — It is fit- ting that on the 100th an- niversary of Albert Eins- tein's birth we have a play about the life of the 20th Century's greatest scien- tist. "Albert Einstein: The Practical Bohemian," a one-man play starring Ed Metzger, now at the Players Theatre in Greenwich Vil- lage, does justice to its sub- ject. Metzger and his co- author, Laya Gelff, who is also the play's director, have wisely presented not only Einstein, the ,scientist _and public figure, but also Einstein the man. Looking somewhat like Einstein, Metzger walks around the stage, occasion- ally trying to light a cigar or a pipe or fiddling with his violin, as he tells of his life, the years in Europe in the first act and in the United States in the second. What comes across is not only a man concerned about science and public issues, but a deeply /II human person with a sense of humor about himself as well as with the personal problems we all have. Metzger's ac- cent may not be exactly Einstein, but if it were, the audience might not be able to understand him. However, his perform- ance is flawless. Frequently through the play we have Einstein try- ing to explain his theory of relativity. My favorite was that for a boy talking with a pretty girl for an hour it might feel like it was only five minutes, but if he sat on a hot stove for a second it might feel like it was an hour.
