Year Of The Spy

Continued from preceding page

as I did before."
But the love has not been
requited: Jonathan Pollard
pleaded guilty to charges of
espionage because the Israeli
government, intensely embar-
rassed at its predicament and
seeking to contain the damage,
furnished the U.S. investi-
gators with evidence that
guaranteed his conviction.
That evidence included
documents which Pollard had
passed on to his Israeli "run-
ner" and which still clearly
bore his fingerprints.
His wife, Anne Henderson-
Pollard, who has pleaded guil-
ty, to charges of unauthorized
possession of classified docu-
ments, is currently on bail
awaiting sentence.
lbgether, their legal fees are
estimated to amount to more
than $200,000, a burden that
is by means covered by the
payments Pollard received
from Israel during the year
that he supplied his services
($2,500 a month, plus other
cash payments amounting to
some $50,000).
Pollard, who is described by
one Israeli source in Washing-
ton as "really pretty innocent
and foolish about the whole
thing," may now sound self-
serving but his plight has
struck a chord in Israel.
Recent media reports have
suggested that he was brutal-
ly used, then ruthlessly dis-
carded by Israeli intelligence
agents operating in the
United States.
Israeli officials, who denied
all prior knowledge of the
Pollard spy operation and in-
sisted that his recruitment

had been unauthorized, may
well have believed that it was
necessary to "dump" Pollard
for the sake of the greater na-
tional interest.
They may have calculated,
given the potential damage
the Pollard affair could inflict
on their dealings with Wash-
ington, that there was simp-
ly no alternative but to lead
Pollard to the sacrificial altar
of U.S7Israeli relations. And
they might have calculated
correctly.
Relations between Wash-
ington and Jerusalem scarce-
ly missed a beat; the dreaded
crisis that was widely feared
in the wake of Pollard's arrest
simply never materialized.
And at a moment when ties
between the two countries
were never stronger.
Ironically, it is the latest
scandal — the shipment of
arms to Iran — ostensibly as
a favor to Washington — that
could pose the greatest threat
to Israel's continued harmony
with its powerful protector
and friend.
It is now widely expected
that in this case, Israel itself
will have to make the journey
to the altar and take some of
the heat; that it will not
escape with the customary
sharp rap over the knuckles.
Moreover, some of the old
coals may now be raked over.
And the Pollard affair, which
was considered to have been
mercifully forgotten, could be
at the top of the list of issues
that will be dragged out into
the open for closer examina-
tion.

Oak Park Hospice

continued, so the Oak Park
facility would become the
focus of hospice training for
several countries.
Plans for the Dewey School
have come under fire from a
"vocal mini-minority," accord-
ing to Dr. Werner. He takes
their objections seriously;
they initially caused him to
have second thoughts about
the hospice's plans. "They all
live immediately next door to
Dewey School. They would be
our neighbors."
Dr. Werner says about 16
people have expressed angry
opposition to the plans. Oak
Park Mayor Charlotte Roths-
tein put the number at eight
to ten people. Their claim
that their mostly black
neighborhood below Nine
Mile Road receives inferior
services than the rest of the
city "makes me very angry,"
she said. The critics say they
are using the hospice as a
scapegoat to express their
anger at the city. "The hos-
pice will go in if we can dis-
pell these hostile attitudes,"
she added.

The mayor said that the
hospice's critics are misin-
formed about what a hospice
actually is: a care system, or
philosophy of care for those
who have less than six
months to live and are un-
able to care for themselves.
Most hospice patients are
looked after at home.
The Southeast Michigan
Hospice currently serves 70
home patients and only 17
in-patients, Dr. Werner ex-
plained.
He said he has received
positive messages from other
Dewey School neighbors, who
said they had no problem
with a hospice opening in
their area. This support
"changed my mind" about the
neighborhood's disposition, he
said. For now, he wants to
wait for the anger to simmer
down before meeting again
with neighbors "on neutral
turf' to gauge their feelings
about the hospice. If the
community is generally sup-
portive, "we would ask the
school board to vote to offer
us the school with the option
