tin, she said, "America is an
awful and terrible country
in which to live, and even to
visit."
According to her state-
ment, "America is one big
bluff. America is a house of
cards which one day will col-
lapse. I am also ashamed of
the yordim (those who leave
Israel); I do not understand
what content there is to
their lives. I have always
loved Israel, even while sit-
ting here in America and
my love for Israel grows
greater and stronger."
Mrs. Dayan also ex-
pressed concern over the
fact that "Israel is imitat-
ing America and this
holds much promise of
trouble for the future."
She expressed dissatis-
faction with Menahem
Begin's foreign policy but

is opposed to the idea
that Jews who dwell in
America should criticize
the Israeli regime. Only
those Jews who live in Is-
rael, she said, have that
right.
Concerning her former
husband, Moshe Dayan, she
said, "We have absolutely
no contact; we also had very
little contact when we still
lived together."

Conceit is to nature what
paint is to beauty; it is not
only needless, but it impairs

NEW YORK — The story
of one of the wealthiest fam-
ily in the world, the
Bronfmans of Montreal and
New York, is told for the
first time in "King of the
Castle: The Making of a
Dynasty: Seagram's and the
Bronfman Empire," by
Peter C. Newman
(Atheneum).
• Their fortune is worth
$7 billion and is still grow-
ing.
• They own the world's
largest distilling operation,
the Seagram's Co., market-
ing over 600 brands (from
Chivas Regal, Meyers'
Rum, and Wofschmidt
Vodka to Paul Masson and
Christian Bros. wines) and
selling over 11/2 million
bottles per day in the
United States alone.
• They have real estate
holdings throughout the
world with those in the U.S.
ranging from the Biltmore
Hotel in Los Angeles to the
Peachtree Center Tower in
Atlanta.
• Their oil interests in-
clude the fifth largest U.S.
independent, the Texas
Pacific Oil Co., which they
wholly own.
"The Bronfmans are
unique in both the reach of
their authority and the
grasp of their wealth,"
writes Newman. "Little
known outside their own
closed circle they rank
among the non-Arab
world's richest citizens and
their ascendancy grows
daily."
Their fortune was nur-
tured on bootleg alcohol and
it has been sustained
through decades of deals,
scandals and intra-family
warfare. In "King of the
Castle," Newman tells the
story through the complex.

Rabbis Appeal
for Shcharansky

NEW YORK — Rabbis
attending a United Jewish
Appeal Young Rabbinic
Leadership Seminar in
Washington, D.C. went en
masse to a site just opposite
the Soviet Embassy to pray
for Anatoly Shcharansky.

Their action came after
Avital Shcharansky, wife of
the imprisoned Jewish dis-
sident, told the rabbis that
she had recently received
information that her hus-
band's health had danger-
ously deteriorated.

Mrs. Shcharansky, who
received the information
initially from a source in Is-
rael on June 10, has been in
contact with a number of
sympathetic Washington
officials whose help now,
she said, "is, more urgent
than ever."

Shcharansky is suffering
from severe loss of sight,
rapid weight loss, constant
fevers and persistent mig-
rane headaches, according
to additional reports which
Mrs.
have reached
Shcharansky recently.

personalities of the family
members and he shows how
they amassed power, exer-
cised, hoarded and abused
it, and how it changed the
human beings who wield it.

Samuel Bronfman was
the dynasty's guiding spirit.
The son of a Russian Jewish
immigrant, Bronfman was
a man constantly at war
with his competitors, his
associates and himself. He
thrived during the anarchy
of Prohibition, continually'
skating to the edge of the
law; and he spent his later
years chasing (without suc-
cess) Establishment respec-
tability.
Under his shadow, his
family grew up to take over
the empire and gain the re-
spectability he craved.
Newman brings them all to
life: Edgar, the current
Seagram's head, dogged by
sensational headlines over
a scandalous marriage and
the $2.3 million "kidnap-
ping" of his son; Charles,
who insists on attending his
Montreal Expos' spring
training in full uniform;
Mitch, Peter, Phyllis and
others.
The Bronfmans' civic ac-
tivities are touched upon,
including their leadership

in the Canadian Jewish
community. But in the
main, Newman delineates
the family's power, amassed
by father Sam and inherited
by the others.
Two indices list the=
Bronfmans' companies and
real estate holdings. Their
Michigan holdings include_
the Fisher, First National
and New Center building
in Detroit.
