writers, not only would those
covered by the media be served
well, but more important the pub-
lic would reap the benefits.
Under the present court defini-
tions of libel, the media have
carved out for themselves an im-
munity not granted any other sec-
tor of society. They are immune
from accountability in libel cases
if malice is not proven. In other
words, they can print information
which is defamatory, erroneous,
untrue and not be held accounta-
ble.
That is an untenable position
when it involves the public inter-
est.
The public will not endure such
arrogance as displayed by Time
which, after the decision, still
maintained the story was"sub-
stantially true." And none of
Time's colleagues asked the
editors of Time to explain how

the media would be to argue that
truth should be the only defense
against libel. The media should
demand of themselves the same

Kahan Commission report, on
which the story was based, did not
contain information that Sharon
had met with the Phalangists to
discuss revenge.
With Time magazine appar-

Times editorialized: "Beating the
arrogance rap is even more impor-

While that may be somewhat of
an overstatement, the courts,
which reflect public opinion in
their decisions, may very well
swing the pendulum back to a
more conservative view if these
kinds of cases continue to receive
such visibility.

rael to gain insight into the prob-
lems of Jewish education on the

1984 Sees Record
Tourism In Israel
New York (JTA) — The r
greatest increase of American
tourism to Israel since the estab-
lishment of the State in 1948 took
place last year, it was announced
by Moshe Shoshani, Israel's com-
missioner for tourism for North_
America. He said that "405,000
Americans visited Israel in 1984,
which represents a staggering 15
percent increase over 1983 when
354,000 Americans travelled
there." A peak figure of 1.3 mil-
lion visitors worldwide was also a
record achievement.
