The road followed the coast, at times almost on the beach itself; at other places on cliffsides high above the blue Mediterranean. Some- times for two or three kilometers (a mile.or so) the narrow two-lane roadway is undamaged. Orange and fruit groves are dusty in the summer heat but un- harmed. Farm buildings and villages are whole, with bright flowers or vines trail- ing over them. But then you come to a stretch of road — a few kilometers — pockmarked by shell and bomb craters.

Some of the vehicles were propelled by the blasts on Housing Boom Hits Orthodox Neighborhood in Brooklyn Koch Wins ADL Jabotinsky Prize top of the rubble of what NEW YORK — Israeli once was a house.

The Israeli prime minis- ter was given a copy of his University of Warsaw tran- scripts by Rabbi Alexander M. Schindler during a meet- ing with the Union of American Hebrew Congre- gations (UAHC) president Saturday in New York. Last year in Jerusalem, Begin had asked Jerzy Koberski, then Poland's Minister of Religious Af- fairs, for the transcript. Koberski passed the docu- ment to to Rabbi Philip Hiat of the UAHC. Hiat gave the transcripts to Schindler who passed them on to Be- gin. If you wish it, it is no myth. Orchard Mall. Orchard Lake Road North of Maple. West Bloomfield. 851-9444.
