Mrs. Linsky and her late
husband, Jack, were the
founders of Swingline Inc.,
the manufacturer of stap-
lers and other office
supplies. The firm was sold
to American Brands Inc. for
$210 million in 1970.
The donation of the
Linsky collection follows a
week of controversy at the
museum stemming from a
decision not to mount a
show of archeological ob-
jects from Israel, some of
which came from a museum
located in the disputed
territory occupied during
the Six-Day War. The issue
was resolved when the Met,
following protests by sev-
eral Jewish groups, agreed
to mount a similar show
sponsored by the Smithso-
nian Institution in 1984. _
Mrs. Linsky, who has
contributed to various
museums in Israel,. ex-
pressed satisfaction with
the Met's decision to dis-
play the Smithsonian ex-
hibit.
The Linsky collection
comprises Old Master
paintings, French furni-
ture, porcelains, bronzes
and Renaissance jewelry
and includes many ac-
knowledged masterpieces,
sought by other museums
and auction houses.
Meanwhile, in a column
for Seven Arts Features,
Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum
was particularly critical of
Met President William
Macomber. He claims that
Macomber, a former U.S.
ambassador to Jordan, was
one of the leading opponents
of the original exhibit.

WJC Film Cited
NEW YORK —"The Last
Journey," a film made for
the World Jewish Congress
on Soviet Jewry, has been
named the winner of the
CINE Golden Eagle cinema
festival award. This cita-
tion, together with the
Silver Medal awarded to it
at the New York Film Fes-
tival, means that the film
has been selected to repre-
sent the United States in in-
ternational festivals around
the world.
The film documents the
state of remaining Jewish
life and culture in the Soviet
Union as photographed by
Nodar Djindjihashvili who
journeyed across his native
land before his own emigra-
tion to the United States. It
was first shown in
Jerusalem last year to the
delegates from 60 countries
attending the WJC Plenary
Assembly.
Progress has its draw-
backs and they are great.
