IDF SIDON (JNI) — The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) are ready to help clear debris in Lebanese refugee camps, but will wait for a request from the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The head of the U.S. agency for International Development (AID) has asked Israel to defend Palestinian refugee camps from Lebanese militiamen who have moved into many former PLO strongholds. AID director Peter McPher- son toured the Ein Hilwe camp earlier this month and met with Israeli military of- ficials for more than an hour. IF ATTENTION!!! NEW YORK -- When Samuel Weinberger of New Rochelle, N.Y., entered Yeshiva University High School for Boys in Manhat- tan at the age of 12, ad- ministrators and teachers quickly discovered that high school mathematics courses did not challenge him. So they alloWed Wein- berger to take math courses at Yeshiva College, the men's undergraduate di- vision of Yeshiva Univer- sity. This fall, at the age of 19, Dr. Weinberger started teaching college calculus courses at Princeton Uni- versity, becoming, many at Princeton believe, the youngest faculty member in that university's history. Those teachers and ad- ministrators at the high school — now the Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy-Yeshiva Univer- sity High School for Boys, Manhattan — are not sur- prised. By the time he was 14, Dr. Weinberger was tak- ing courses at Yeshiva University's Belfer Graduate School,: of Sci- ence. That year, he won top honors in the Westin- ghouse Science Talent Search for his project on "fixed-point theory" in mathematics. At 15, he enrolled eNew York University, where he completed work for a docto- rate in mathematics in four years. He is the youngest person ever to receive a doc- torate in math from NYU. But, even when he was attending NYU, Wein- berger, the son of Rabbi and Mrs. Philip Weinberger of New Rochelle, continued to return to the Yeshiva Uni- versity campus regularly to sit in on shiur (Talmudic discourses) at the univer- sity's Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary. Doubt is hell in the human soul.
