ing attended these affairs pro-
fessionally for almost two
decades, I suggest that
organizations might save a
good deal of money and foster
good will by foregoing the an-
nual dinner routine. Better
yet, one local rabbi, a veteran
of countless dinner functions
on the organizational net-
work, suggested that every
Jewish group hold its affair
the same night, same place,
same basic crowd. Each
group could unfurl its banner
for a half hour, and at the end
of the marathon evening,
everyone could go home hap-
py, free for another year.
But the Jewish organiza-
tions would sooner honor
Waldheim than give up their
routines. And so, I await the
next big event, with memor-
ies of Milton Berle discussing
erections in front of the cream
of the crop of the American
Jewish community, in search
of the perfect metaphor. 0
