A spoof to end all disaster

neth Mars and choreog-
rapher Anthony Holland
discuss the danger of a bomb
scare. Two bumbling detec-
tives, portrayed by Michael
Emil and Zack Norman,
come to the same conclusion
that the new theater lacks
exit doors. It is apparent
that the contractor (Greg
Lewis) and crooked mayor
(Allen Goorwitz) used all
the bomb squad's funds to
build the impressive edifice.
The terrorists go ahead
with their plans to blow up
the theater during the
world premiere of the ballet
production, which is a
black-tie charity affair. The
story takes a bizarre turn to
satisfy everyone according
to the proven cliche of a
happy ending.
Before tackling the story
of "The Bomb," Jaglom
completed for the National
Lampoon epic the sequence,
"The Municipalians," a
hilarious take-off of a cops
and killer expose with
Richard Widmark and
Bobby Benson as policemen
and Elisha Cook and Chris-
topher Lloyd as bad guys on
the run.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
series of reforms in the
structure and functions of
the Jewish Agency Board of
Governors and the Jewish
Agency Executive were
proposed during the board's
retreat in Caesarea last
week.
They included limiting
board members' tenure to
two terms and changes that
would give Diaspora mem-
bers a greater voice in the
executive's decision-
making process.
A summary of some of the
items discussed at Caesarea
was made public by
Raymond Epstein of
Chicago, a member of the
board of governors and a
former president of the
Council of Jewish Federa-
tions (CJF).
"Almost every discus-
sion group recommended
a limitation on the length
of service" of board
members, he said. "In
almost every case, the
suggestion was two con-
secutive (four-year)terms
... and this would apply to
officers as well."
Similarly, the discussion
groups felt that the Jewish
Agency Assembly, a much
larger body that meets an-
nually, should restrict its
delegates to "a formal term
... of two or three years, not
only to improve their status
but perhaps to bring about a
healthy turnover," Epstein
said.
"Furthermore, there is, to
many, an anomalous situa-
tion in having the operative
heads of the (Jewish
Agency) departments sit on
the policy-making body. It
was felt there should be a
sharp separation of man-
agement from active opera-
•
tions," Epstein said.
Epstein said the board
members believed the
authority of the chairman of
the executive should be
strengthened.
They also called for
"greater cooperation and
coordination between
the departments and
elimination of duplica-
tion in their activities and
to strengthen the chair-
man would be one step in
bringing this about," he
said.
Meanwhile, the "non-
Zionist" members of the
board have announced their
"endorsement" of the World
Zionist Organization's
Jerusalem Program which
declares the "centrality" of
Israel in Jewish life.
The board also announced
endorsement, too, of two
other cardinal planks of the
WZO ideology: fostering
Jewish "and Zionist" educa-
tion; and "active
encouragement" of aliya
from the free world.
Board chairman Max
Fisher of Detroit termed
the endorsement "hiF-
toric" and said it mea
"we are all one family ...
we are all Zionists."
In practical terms, the
"endorsement" will mean
an overhaul of the Jewish
Agency — to be planned and
formulated by a series of
sub-commissions — to meet
what Fisher called "the
aims of the '80s." Agency
chairman Leon Dulzin told
reporters that "within one
year" these sub-
commissions will have re-
ported back and the new
"joint approach to the main
Jewish issues" will be on the
way to implementation.
