district.
Many observers say Col-
lins, endorsed by Young, is a
likely victor. Others suggest
the field of qualified
Democrats makes it difficult
to speculate on the winner.
Tinsley-Williams has the
backing of Wayne County
Executive Ed McNamara.
Crockett is endorsing
Watkins.
The race also may be hard
to predict because the
district's voting turnout has
been historically low. In
1988, just 40,000 of a
430,000-person district
showed up at the polls.

District is predominantly
black, as are the candidates.
It is home to half of the city
of Detroit, Hamtramck and
Highland Park. Incor-
porated in the district are
some of Detroit's classic
neighborhoods, such as
Lafayette Park. It is diverse,
also home to many of
Detroit's poorest residents.
Of all of the candidates,
Barrow has more Jewish
supporters in the public
spotlight. Included on the
extensive Barrow list are
Paul Davidson, an insurance
agency owner; Frank
Mamat, a Republican at-
torney who is a partner at
Honigman, Miller, Schwartz
and Cohen; developer
Michael Horowitz of the
Selective Group, who was
recently named one of Mich-
igan's entrepreneurs of the
year; and entertainment at-
torney Robert Fenton, co-
author of the recently releas-
ed fiction novel, Black Tie
Only.
"It makes good sense that
the Jewish community
should become involved with
a candidate who would be
responsive," Fenton said.
"The Jewish community has
been enthusiastically
responsive in the past as lib-
eral leaders in the civil
rights era. This is an oppor-
tunity to solidify the coali-
tion that has been in effect
for years.
"We need to get someone
in there with whom we can
work," Fenton said.
Horowitz, too, emphasized
the significance of black-
Jewish ties in this race.
"Obviously because of
Crockett's poor position on
Israel, I see this as an oppor-
tunity to be involved,"
Horowitz said. "There is a

I have always been
pro-Israel. I support
Israel's right to exist
independently. I do not
embrace the PLO.

In those states, as well as
in Maine, pro-Israel activists
succeeded in supplanting
pro-Palestinian platform
statements from 1988 with
pro-Israel ones.
Nevertheless, Zogby said
this year's party conventions
have been "a wash, and I
feel comfortable about it."
"We won some victories in
some states," he said, citing
a clear-cut win in Washing-
ton state — but ironically
citing Iowa, Maine and
Texas as well.
"All we did was hold the
line at the point we thought
it was acceptable to hold the
line," he asserted.
Explaining AAI's satisfac-
tion in Texas, Zogby said the

language in the platform
preamble "was close enough
to (Palestinian) self-
determination to make us
happy." Self- determination
is the codeword for Palestin-
ian statehood.
In negotiations in Texas,
pro-Palestinian groups real-
ized that the pro-Israel plat-
form was going to be
adopted, so they focused on
stripping the words
"administered territories,"
and the phrase "legitimate
rights" for Palestinians from
the platform.
"Administered territories"
is seen by Palestinians as a
pro-Israel euphemism for
what they call the "occupied
territories."
