YEAR N REVIEW 5748 YEAR IN REVIEW THE DEMOCRATS chose Gov. Michael Dukakis, shown here with his family at the national convention in Atlanta, as their presidential nominee. The candidate's wife, Kitty (third from left) is Jewish, and she stirred controversy when she said that the couple's three children were raised as half-Jewish and half-Greek. SEN. CARL LEVIN (D-Mich.) helped organize a letter, signed by 30 U.S. Senators, supporting the Shultz initiative and urging Prime Minister Shamir to accept the principle of exchanging land for peace. American Jews were sharply divided over the letter. 0 0) JESSE JACKSON stirred black and Jewish emotions — in different directions — with his strong showing in the Democratic primaries, finishing second to Michael Dukakis. Jackson's support of a Palestinian homeland angered Jews, many of whom say they will vote Republican this fall for fear of his gaining a key position in a Democratic administration. POLITICS 126 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1988 GEORGE BUSH held off a number of fellow Republicans in the primaries to breeze to a presidential nomination in New Orleans, where his impressive acceptance speech was overshadowed by his appointment of Sen. Dan Quayle as running mate. MAYOR ED KOCH of New York infuriated Jesse Jackson and his supporters when he said that Jews would "have to be crazy" to vote for Jackson. Koch supported Albert Gore in the New York primary.
