In his story, he answers in the affirmative. The story is so frighten- ing that the publisher notes in publicity for reviewers that accompanies the book that in Germany, where Stein has enjoyed much publishing success, the book was refused publication on the grounds that "the Ger- man people were not ready for it." The book tells the tale of Cliffhaven, ostensibly a dream resort, but ulti- mately a modern-era concentration camp. Founded by Merle Clif- ford, a Texas businessman with a consuming interest in genetics, Cliffhaven is LABOR ZIONIST ALLIANCE Celebrating 75 Years of Commitment to Labor Israel presents AARON D.

Only the first in a series of pro- posed "resorts," Cliffhaven is a thriving "success" six months after opening. But it is far from a resort. Since when do resorts deal in evil? Early in the book are the foreshadowings. The reader is introduced to the guests' guide, Clete, blond-haired, blue-eyed, perhaps the "A- ryan" image. And then-this bit of information for new- comers: "Our guests never leave us." The book gets nasty — drugging, torture and the like, and those who are light of heart and stomach would be wise to tread with cau- tion. Stien, the founder and publisher of Stein and Day, delivers his tale ex- pertly and one is grateful when it ends, when a leading character, Henry Brown, is ready to expose the hateful experiment, just as the Holocaust sur- vivors are penning their memoirs. Stein writes: "Men who had come out of the trees did to each other what no apes did. He couldn't change their natures, but he must tell what he knew, for hope was the only medicine that would not become obsolete in time." For those brave souls who read Sol Stein's "The Re- sort," one word 'of advice, keep a nightlight on. —H.P. Popularity Poll TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Prime Minister Menahem Begin's popularity drooped to 24 percent in an August poll conducted by the Public Opinion Research Institute. Some 57.7 percent approved of former Defense Minister Ezer Weizman. Weizman was more popu- lar with Labor Alignment (39.1 percent of his support) than he was with those who identified with Likud (18.5 percent). W.C. Trojan The Neot Kedumim team of workers had to move tons of earth to build irrigation reservoirs and then bring that soil to the many barren slopes. "Thousands of years of neglect and erosion left these once fertile hills de- nuded of all plants and with little or no soil," she says. "We hauled soil back up the hills and rebuilt the stone terraces using the remnants of 3,000-year-old terraces as blueprints." At one point they came across a deep stone cistern, perched on the shoulder of a hill. "The terrain had been changed by erosion," she said. "When we recontoured the land, the water from the first winter rains funneled down into the mouth of the cistern as it had done thousands of years ago, and the cistern refilled. We use it today."
