THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS No fathers or mothers think their own children ugly; and this self-deceit is yet stronger with respect to the offspring of the mind. —Cervantes Modern Jewish Cooking: A Blend of Old and New Mrs. Bonne London shares with her readers, in "Modern Jewish Cooking" (Crown Press), the lessons she learned from her grandmother for strict adherence to the dietary laws. For the best lessons in ,kosher cooking, her book is perhaps the most useful for the Jewish housewife. Another very important factor in Mrs. London's cookbook is that it is de- signed for application to the most modern kitchen, the microwave oven, food proc- ssors, crock pots, mixers, Menders and other recent inventions for cooking. The thoroughness with which Mrs. London treats her explanations of kashrut makes her work suitable even for those already dedi- cated to the observance of the traditional laws. There is a uniqueness also in her classifying of recipes. She groups the breakfast delicacies as well as the lunch and dinner advice in special sections. These are among the many ways in which she serves as ex- pert guide for the homemaker in assuring a kosher kitchen. essor and shred apples and carrots. Put all ingredients into saucepan.

In- City of Gold Gives Unique Perspective to Bible Stories "City of Gold and Other Stories from the Old Testa- ment" by Peter Dickenson with illustrations by Michael Foreman (Panth- eon) offers a radical and in- triguing approach to 33 Bible tales. Rather than retell them n the familiar way, Dic- enson reaches back to the time before the Bible was written and suggests how the events of the Scriptures might have been described by witnesses or by people who had just heard about them. The witnesses come from all areas and always pre- sent' the unexpected view. In "The Red Sea," we listen not to the victorious He- brews, but to a fisherman, who, a century after the Exodus, describes Moses as a heathen wizard to visiting officials from the Pharaoh. The passionate tale of the death of David's son- O , Absalom comes not through the eyes of the bereaved father but through an army officer who wants history to re- cord some of the lesser- known facts regarding Absalom's treachery. Educated Egyptian priests, nomadic traders and professional storytel- lers gather to recount their tales as Foreman's illustra- tions move the reader from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Sinai. Dickenson is the author of several award-winning adult crime novels and chil- dren's books. One of his books, "The Flight of the Dragons," was recently made into an animated television special. Foreman has written and illustrated some 15 picture books and has twice been awarded the Francis William$ Memorial Prize of Great-Biitairk - - 4 . • This collage by New York artist Fred Otnes was . especially commissioned by Brown & Williamson for its permanent collection of fine art works The freedom to choose our livelihood was provided to us long ago. And it was typified by the struggle of immigrants to America in the early 1800's. People like Adam Gimbel, a humble Jewish peddler from Germany, who later founded the country's first department store. And' individuals who became industrial giants, like Andrew Carnegie from Scotland, who built one of the largest steel producing businesses in the United States. America had given both of them the freedom. The freedom to choose. A free individual does not live without choice. A free society does not prosper without it. Consider, if you will, the personal choices we make every day without intervention from others. Now consider how many we take for granted. The right to choose is the basis of all freedom—political, social, artistic. economic, religious—for all people. But this right must be protected from those who would chip away at it..: either deliberately for personal gain, or innocently for the - betterment" of humanity. It must be protected from those who would make their choice, your choice. These personal freedoms are our legacy as well as our responsibility...to protect and to pass on to those who follow. Freedom. It's a matter of choice. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Company-USA
