Levy May Meet
With Baker
Next Month
Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli
Foreign Minister David
Levy is likely to meet U.S.
Secretary of State James
Baker for the first time early
in August, according to
reports here and in Wash-
ington.
Levy wrote to Baker at the
end of last week, in response
to a friendly letter from the
secretary suggesting that
they meet this week in
Europe.
Levy, who suffered a mild
heart attack June 14, backed
out of the meeting, explain-
ing that his doctors would
not allow him to travel out of
the country until the end of
the month.
Israeli sources described
Levy's letter as friendly and
constructive. Levy and his
aides are said to be both
pleased and intrigued by
Baker's apparent eagerness
to make his acquaintance,
and the secretary's reference
to Levy as a known problem-
solver.
But the friendly inter-
change between the two
leaders is said to have struck
an apprehensive chord
among some Likud hard-
liners and among the rightest
parties in the government
coalition. They fear it may
lead to concessions by Levy on
the peace process.

When Is A Pig
Not A Pig?
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Hog
farmers in Israel, fearing
they may soon be put out of
business by an Orthodox-
inspired bill banning the
raising of pigs anywhere in
the Jewish state, have come
up with a novel solution to
their plight.
They are considering im-
porting and breeding
babirusas, an Indonesian
species of wild hog related to
the pig family that chews its
cud and has cloven hoofs.
According to Indonesian
farmers, the meat of the
little- known animal tastes
exactly like the unkosher
pig. But as it meets the
biblical requirements for
kashrut, it does not come
under the ban on raising
pigs for pork products.
In appearance, the
babirusa is taller and longer-
legged than the hog, and it
has a longer face.
News of an alleged
"kosher pig" appears to
have taken the religious es-
tablishment by surprise.
