Soften the in- stant minced onion in the water; then stir in. Add the remaining filling ingre- dients, and stir to combine well. Refrigerate several hours to allow the flavors to mingle. Stir once more be- fore using, and adjust the seasonings if necessary. To prepare the tomatoes, cut a slice from the bottom end (not the stem end) of each tomato. (The filled to- matoes are less likely to wobble if set on a tray with the stem-end down.) Re- serve the slices. Use a small spoon, preferably a serrated grapefruit spoon, to scoop out the seeds and pulp from each tomato (discard or re- serve for another use). Turn the tomato shells upside down onto some paper toweling, and allow them to drain for about 5 minutes. Then use a small spoon or pastry bag (with a plain tip) to stuff each to- mato with the filling so that it is slightly heaped on top. Replace the "lid" on each tomato, tilting it to one side. The filling may be pre- pared up to 2 days in ad- vance, and the tomatoes may be stuffed up to about 8 hours ahead of serving time. Makes about 6 to 8 buffet servings.

The people named are legion and the networking around and through them is superb. It may not be news that Bronco Billy, the first of the cowboy stars, was Max Aronson from Little Rock, but did you know that Shi- mon Peres and Lauren Bacall are close cousins? In a long listing of American Jewish comedians, Whit- field doesn't offer an ordi- nary alphabetical catalogue, but alliterative and metaphorical pairings that are rhythmically ticked off to the reader's de- light: Zeppo Marx and Zero Mostel, Elaine May and Danny Kaye, Mike Nichols and Don Rickles, Shecky Greene and Ben Blue, George Burns and David Frye to name a few. Divided into four sec- tions, Voices of Jacob, Hands of Esau devotes three opening chapters to the American Jewish intel- lectual's response to Twen- tieth Century to- talitarianism, the tragi- cally delayed American realization of the extent of the Holocaust, and the im- pact of Hannah Arendt's theories on political re- sponses; three chapters to the American Jewish politi- cal experience, concentrat- ing attention on the legacy of radicalism and the persis- tence of liberalism; three chapters to Jews in the popular arts, particularly comedy, with an in-depth study of Jules Feiffer, one chapter to the literary im- portance of baseball to Jewish writers including Cahan, Malamud, Philip Roth, Mark Harris, Isaac Rosenfeld, Potok and Hel- ler; two chapters to Jew in journalism with a penetrat- ing analysis of Walter Lippman; concluding with three chapters on being Jewish in the South, a sub- ject only nnw beginning to attract the attention if de- serves. Merely to outline Whit- field's subject matter, how- ever makes a lasting im- pression but neglects to . convey the sense of what Yeats called "the perfect human body." What's im- portant is that there is a perfect human body here, well, nearly so, charmingly fleshed out, a pleasure to behold. Part of that pleas- ure is in Whitfield's conclu- sion with its sensible evalu- ation of the tensions. • • • • Travel, Inc.

And their writing is easily under- standable to the scholar and the lay person alike. As a professor of Ameri- can studies at Brandeis University, Whitfield is adept at gleaning the mean- ing out of the combined his- tory, sociology, philosophy and literature of the Ameri- can Jewish community, ob- served in its internal work- ings and its external set- tings in the larger Ameri- can and world communities. Not the least of Whit- field's virtues is his sheer capacity to write. His lyri- cism apart, he has a gift for the aphoristic, an encyclopedic memory, and a knack for the bon mot. He's quick and he's subtle, and you can be half a line further along before some- thing clicks in your head and you realize you've just been treated to a 'fresh glimpse of some venerable verity .one would have Orn• • • • SASE _ • • • • • • • under his supervision, offers additionally an exceptional variety of travel oppor- tunities,. at highest quality service and lowest prices.
