THE Difioilt.igisti
business. I've really been sheltered in
that I've been in the business ten
years and haven't been fired yet. It's
really amazing if you look at the way
people come and go. If you were to
look at a newscast from ten years ago,
you'd be shocked that beyond the
Mort Crims and Bill Bonds the tur-
nover is amazing. It's something I
keep in mind. I have a shorter life
span in my business than many so I
really have to make the best of it. I
have worked on and created some-
thing here in Detroit that I imagine I
might not be able to duplicate any-
where else, at least right away. I've
never covered sports anywhere else. I
haven't jackrabbited across the coun-
try the way so many have so I really
feel a tie and a knowledge of the
teams in this area. That's something
that really takes a long time to ac-
quire. If I were to go somewhere else,
I've got a slight working knowledge
of the teams but I couldn't shoot from
the hip. Having a background in a
market place gives a credibility that
is invaluable in my business. But I
think a change is inevitable, it's
going to happen someday, I don't
know when.
I would like to think I could work
at least one more big contract in De-
troit. I've worked so hard to get where
it is now. I've gone from six years ago
making $12,000 a year to many
many times that. I've always said to
myself, I don't want to get on the
treadmill where I'm never happy
with what I have. Everyday some-
body says, "you've done this. Don't
you want to work for the network
now? Don't you have to go to New
York next? Don't you want what
Howard Cosell has? I was really
happy four years ago when I was just
doing radio and it was beyond what
I'd hoped for then. Right now, things
are going well. Maybe my wants and
desires will change in a few years,
but right now it's perfecto and I'm
really not concerned about it.

NOTEBOOK
Case closed! . . . from Israel
BY CARL ALPERT
Special to The Jewish News
Haifa — "Justice, justice
thou shalt pursue," the pro-
phet said, and indeed Is-
rael's courts of law seek to
heed that admonition, tem-
pering the cold law with the
warmth of understanding.
A handful of gleanings from
recent court records pro-
vides a good picture:
Never on Shabbat — The
Haifa rabbinical court con-
sidered the case of a sepa-
rated couple, each of whom
claimed ownership of the
family car. The judges de-
cided the two could divide
the use of the car equally
between them, and since the
number of days in the week
is odd, the car would rest on
the Shabbat.
Reliable Evidence? —
Ahmed Abdalla Calib, of
the Arab village of Tuba,
asked the police to obtain a
search warrant to seek his
stolen property in the home
of a neighbor. The Justice of
the Peace in Safad refused
to issue the warrant when
he learned that the source of
the information was a for-
tune teller who had "seen"
the evidence in a cup of oil.
Honor Thy Father — The
Supreme Rabbinical Court
in Jerusalem ruled that a
father should be released
from the obligation of pay-
ing for the support of his
14-year-old daughter, who
lives with the mother, on
the grounds that the daugh-
ter had refused to see or
meet with the father.
Punishment to Fit the
Crime — Gabriel Yarhi, 24,
a bank clerk, was found
guilty of stealing from the
accounts of clients of the
bank. Judge Samuel Qvart
of the Tel Aviv District
Court sentenced the young
man to give free lessons in
mathematics to children of
an underprivileged
neighborhood.
Better Unemployed —
Shalva Yosabashvili, an
unemployed mechanic,
went to the government
employment center to seek
a job, slipped on a banana,
and incurred permanent
disabilities. The Haifa Dis-
trict Court granted him full
damages.
The Sound of Music —
Rabbi Galai of Kiryat Atta
complained that a portable
tape recorder 'had been sto-
len from his car. A young
man, carrying a tape re-
corder, was picked up but
claimed it was his own. The
suspect was asked what had
been recorded and replied
promptly: pop music. The
machine was turned on, and
gave forth a clear and lucid
explanation of a lesson in
Gemara.
Rambam Cited in Court
— The lawyer for the de-
fense cited the Rambam to
the effect that "one who
pleads guilty thereby indi-
cates remorse," and asked
for leniency for his client.
The lawyer was an Arab,
Fatahi Akila, and his client,
Abdul Latif Abu-Arav,
charged with membership
in an illegal, terrorist organ-
ization.
Her Interest, Too — A
Haifa man was injured in an
automobile accident. Sepa-
rate suit against the insur-
ance company was filed by
his wife on the grounds that
her husband had lost his
virility as a result of the ac-
cident.
Appreciative Suspect —
Yosef Attias, 27, was ar-
rested by the Zevulum
police on suspicion of hav-
ing set fire to a neighbor's
car. He was held in custody
for a number of days, and
then released when the
police brought in a new sus-
pect. In court, Attias ex-
pressed no bitterness, but
thanked the police for their
unremitting efforts to find
the guilty party.
Authorship Not a Defense
— Hayim Vinig of Petach
Tikva, with "a rich criminal
record, was found guilty of
fraud. His lawyer pleaded
for a light sentence on the
grounds that Vinig had
written a book.
To Keep it a Man's World
of Or
— Boris wa
Yehuda was
s charged with
attacking his wife with a
razor and threatening to
kill her. His reason: she
bore him only female chil-
dren.
