Vision looks inward

looks outward and becomes
aspiration. Vision looks
upward and becomes faith.

Reflections on the Passing Parade
By DAVID SCHWARTZ

anniversary of man's land-
ing on the moon, one of the
scientists connected with

All men are created
equal, Americans say. Sam
Levinson has changed that
a bit. Commenting on the
nuclear incident in Three
Mile Island, Pa., Levinson
says, We will all be cre-
mated equally."
Levinson, one of the es-
tablished humorists of the
country, is the author of a
new book with the title:
"You Don't Have to Be in
Who's Who to Know What's
What."
The thesis of the work
is that ordinary people
are not so dumb either.
Benjamin Franklin had
the same idea. He said
that there are as many
able people who are not
known as there are who
are known and cele-
brated.
If you decide to get born, a
good place to do it is Kiev. It
was there that Golda Meir
was born. Also Louise
Nevelson.
Louise Nevelson, who
came to America from Kiev,
Russia when she was a
child, is now regarded as
perhaps the leading
sculptress in America. Her
parents settled in Rockport,
Maine and there she spent
her childhood. She wasn't
very much appreciated in
Maine, but now that she is
famous, they are making up
for it. Last month, the city of
Rockport turned out in full
force to honor her with par-
ties and exhibitions of her
work. Who knows, they may
even name a street after
her. In New York, it has al-
ready been done: Louise
Nevelson Plaza.
Members of her family
attribute her success to her
indomitable spirit. You
just couldn't keep her
down, they say. She still
works all day, but she be-
lieves in relaxing too. At
night, she likes to go danc-
ing. After all, she is only a
little more than 80 years
old.

Adjustment Is the Theme
of Two New Summer Books
Henry Denker's latest
novel, "Horowitz and Mrs.
Washington," (G.P. Put-
nam's Sons) centers, at first,
on two fiercely independent
and uncompromising indi-
viduals, but, in the end,
takes on a meaning much
larger in scope.
Samuel Horowitz is the
fiesty old man living alone
on New York's upper West
Side. He is so hard headed
and stubborn that he puts
up a fight when he is at-
tacked by muggers and suf-
fers a stroke which
paralyzes his entire left
side.
Horowitz's son hires a
black nurse, Mrs. Washing-
ton, to supervise the physi-
cal therapy and Horowitz
becomes furious.
Slowly and grudgingly,
Horowitz grows to re-
spect Mrs. Washington.
He finds that she is, after
all, a decent woman (and
besides, she makes great
blintzes; one of
Horowitz's favorite dis-
hes).
Eventually, the two corn-
bine forces to save Horowitz
from his daughter, who
plans to move Horowitz
from his beloved New York.
bara Fischman Traub
(Richard Marek Pub-
lishers).
The story centers
around 17-year-old Lisa
Engler, who is among the
few Jewish survivors
who return home to the
Romanian town of Sighet
at the end of the war. De-
vastated by the loss of
their families and the
things they have seen in
the camps, the survivors
hope to find comfort in
the familiar contours of
home. Instead, they find
their houses destroyed
and their non-Jewish
neighbors sorry that they
survived and returned.
The novel follows Lisa
through a life in which she
is both shattered by her los-
ses and braced for the future
by the moral integrity she
finds within herself.
