Sex Is Problem,
Not Jewishness

Boston — Jewish women
seeking advancement in cor-
porate America report that
their progress is curbed more
by their being women than
their Jewishness.
This is the basic conclusion
of a study by Dr. Amy L. Sales
of the board leadership of top
business companies and law
firms in the city of Boston,
done for the American Jewish
Committee's Boston Chapter,
and released in a booklet
titled, "Women CLimb the
Corporate Ladder: The Bos-
ton Experience."
"In all major sectors of the
economy," she concludes, "5
percent seems to be the
magical number for women at
the top. No matter where you
look, fewer than one out of
every 20 people in the boar-
droom is a woman."
Of these relatively few
women who had made it into
the boardrooms of Boston's
most powerful corporations,
Dr. Sales found that the prin-
cipal routes were through
academia and family ties.
When it came to Jewish
women, Dr.Sales found that
they were entering the work
force in increasing numbers,
and were aiming for higher
position. She pointed out that
of the 29 companies studied,
four of the companies had
Jewish women directors, and
that Jewish women were even
more represented • in law
firms, with seven firms hav-
ing Jewish partners.

Middle East
Is Discussed

Boston — Can PLO leader-
ship accomplish its goals and
fulfill the expectations of the
Palestinian people through
continued uprisings in the
West Bank and Gaza?
Two prominent authorities
on the Middle East — Dr.
Aharon Barnea, director of
the Middle, East desk and
Arab affairs correspondent for
Israel Radio News and co-
author of Mine Enemy: The
Moving, Hopeful Friendship
of Two Couples — Israeli and
Arab; and Dr. Daniel Pipes,
director of the Foreign Policy
Research Institute in
Philadelphia and editor of
ORBIS, its quarterly journal
of international affairs —
analyzed these and other
issues at a plenary session of
the American Jewish
Committee.
Barnea, who traced the de-
velopment of Palestinian-
political thinking before and
after the Israeli invasion of

Lebanon in 1982, stated that
a major political goal of the
PLO, both now and in the
future, is to develop ties and
relations with the American
administration.
Barnea went on to examine
the changing role of PLO
leadership, noting that "the
latest developmens have
shown that there is no real
contradiction of interest bet-
ween the leaders of the upris-
ing in the territories and the
Palestinian leadership out-
side the territories. Never-
theless, and in contradiction
to past experiences," he add-
ed, "it is now the leadership
inside the territories that will
be primarily responsible for
giving direction, making the
important decisions and
determining the political pro-
cesses that will be followed!'
Pipes, looking at the Middle
East situation from a variety
of vantage points, noted a
dramatic change in philoophy
on the part of some segments
of Israeli society vis-a-vis the
Arab-Israeli conflict.
"It used to be that the
Arabs saw their struggle with
Israel as a communal one bet-
ween Zionists and Palesti-
nians," he said. "For their
part, Israelis saw it as an in-
ternational conflict between
Israel and the Arab states. In
recent years, however, many
Israelis — notably Labor par-
ty leaders — have come to ac-
cept the Arab view. This has
profound and disturbing im-
plications!'

Drugs Made
Radioactive

New York — Drugs used in
chemotherapy for Hodgkins
disease, lymphomas and
other forms of cancer, are be-
ing made radioactive to im-
prove treatment in research
at Technion-Israel Institute of
Technology.
The procedure will enable
physicians to determine if
high- or low-uptake of a
chemotherapeutic agent is
more effective therapy and
which tumors can be treated
by chemotherapy.

Likud Leader
Reiser Injured

dent on the Tel Aviv-
Jerusalem Highway Oct. 25.

Chiropractic Health Hints

WITH DR. STANLEY LEVINE, D.C.

NERVES, JUST NERVES...

"Your trouble is nerves, just nerves, that's all," many have been
told. But your nerves are too important to your body to be
dismissed so easily.

Nerves are the electrical system of the human body, and the spinal col-
umn is the "switchboard" controlling health.
In fact, every function taking place in your body is under the control of
the nerve system, often called "THE MASTER SYSTEM OF THE
HUMAN BODY"

KEY TO NERVE HEALTH

The doctor of chiropractic works with the spine and nerves. He has spent many years studying
and learning the innermost secrets of the human nerve system. His objective is to locate and cor-
rect the nerve trouble that may be causing the abnormal functions and disorders in your body.
By freeing the "blocked nerves" your chiropractor releases nature's wonderful healing power.
The doctors at the Levine Clinic are specialists in nerve related problems. If you have been told
your pain is nerve related, then come to the nerve specialists.
