Paul Cowan, Author, Dies New York (JTA) — Paul Cowan, a journalist on the staff of the Village Voice in New York for 20 years and author of five books, died Sept. 26 at age 48. A graduate of Harvard University, Mr. Cowan spent two years in the Peace Corps and wrote a book on that ex- perience, The Making of an Unamerican. A later book, An Orphan in History, documented his return to his Jewish roots, after having grown up in an assimilated family. With his wife Rachel, a former Unitarian who con- verted to Judaism and is cur- rently studying for the rab- binate, Mr. Cowan co- authored Mixed Blessings about intermarried couples. The book won a 1988 Na- tional Jewish Book Award. Mr. Cowan first spoke at Detroit's annual Jewish Book Fair in 1982 and again in 1987, when he was joined by his wife. Mr. Cowan was the son of the late Louis Cowan, a former president of CBS News and producer of television programs, such as "The $64,000 Question" and "The Quiz Kids." His late mother, Pualine Spiegel Cowan, was of the family that initiated and owned the Spiegel catalogue. As Mr. Cowan did research for his An Orphan in History, he learned that the family's last name had been Cohen and that his great-great- grandfather was a rabbi in Lithuania. Israeli Space Satellite Is Functioning Well Tel Aviv (JTA) — Ofek One, Israel's first space satellite, has functioned well since its launch early last week. A U.S. State Department spokesman last week denied any involve- ment in the Israeli space project. The Israeli-manufactured satellite has been circling the obe every 90 minutes since le launch, and its telemetry ndicates that the solar energy collector panels and / the high-tech instrumenta- tion they power are operating. Ofek, which means Hori- zon, was launched from Palmachim beach, just south of Tel Aviv, by an Israeli-made three stage rocket. Ofek is believed to be the only space satellite travelling from east to west. It was laun- ched in that direction so that the first stage fell into the sea and not into hostile neighbor- ing nations. Some jokers have insisted the satellite was launched east to west because Hebrew / is written from right to left, unlike most alphabets. Israel is the eighth country to successfully launch a satellite and joins the Soviet Union, United States, Japan, France, China Britain and In- dia in the "Space Club." The U.S. State Department said last week that it was not involved in the launch of Israel's communications satellite. "We were not in any way in- volved nor did we assist in this launch," department spokesman Charles Redman said. "We don't have any details on the launch beyond what has already been re- ported by the Israelis." Redman had no direct com- ment on whether the United States believes the satellites could be used for military purposes. "Israel's leaders have stressed that the role of the satellite launch is for peaceful purposes of space research and technological advance- ment," Redman said. JEWISH NATIONAL FUND 18877 W.
