It was the beginning of bla- tant anti-Semitism .in Nazi Germany, and an event that always bothered Mrs. Duka- kis' parents. "My parents returned to America in 1934 with a strong story to tell," she said. "Neither one thought the book burning would go very far. Jews were so much a part of that German society. They were leaders in the intellec- tual Jewish community. They were professors. All of the best musicians were Jews." Her father was a violinist who recently retired from the Boston Symphony. Her late mother was a social worker. Mrs. Dukakis has served on former President Jimmy Car- ter's Commission on the Hol- R`?"

AMITAY I t was a classic "man bites dog" story: 30 U.S. sen- ators writing a letter widely interpreted as being critical of Israel. And, predic- tably, the usual gaggle of critics were quick to applaud this unique occurrence and exaggerate its significance. Notwithstanding the pre- ponderance of positive statements in the letter, the media pounced on the "dismay" expressed by the senators over Prime Minister Shamir's refusal to publicly announce, in advance of any negotiations, that Israel should give up territory for peace. It should also have been predictable that the reaction to the letter from pro-Israel activists would cause additional dismay to the signers of the letter. Some of the senators who signed the letter were ob- viously impressed by the religious affiliation of the let- ter's originator, Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, and three other signers, Senators Boschwitz, Lautenberg and Metzenbaum. In hindsight, most of the signers now question the wisdom and timing of having sent such a message. In fact, in its aftermath, not a single signer would agree to a televised debate with Sen. Arlen Specter of Penn- sylvania who had refused to sign the letter. Although Specter is regarded as one of the brightest members of the Senate, it should not have taken a genius to forsee the negative effect of having the letter on the front page of the New York Times a day before Shamir arrived in this coun- try for his talks with the ad- ministration on the Shultz peace plan. With the best of intentions, the letter injected 30 American senators directly into the internal politics of a fellow democracy and displayed a degree of naivete of the realities of the Middle East and the significance of the Camp David Accords. The Camp David Accords, which all the senators had supported, wisely dictated an interim period of five years in which intentions could be, divined and human contact developed prior to final agree- ment over the disposition of the territories. The letter, however, not only short cir- cuited the Camp David pro- cess, it cut the ground out from under Israel's eventual negotiating position in direct talks with Jordan and Palestinian representatives. It is important to note that Shamir, as the democratical- ly elected head of his govern- ment, spoke for Israel. The motivation behind the letter's author, Sen. Carl Levin, was to try to change a status quo he regarded as in- tolerable, and also provide support for Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres. But change for the sake of change without knowing where it will lead can be dangerous.
