FOR MY SISTER
RITA ROMANO
March 4, 1984
When it all started we were just sisters, you were older.
As we grew up I was crazy about you.
Whatever you did or wore I wanted to;
you were of course my older sister.
Then I became jealous of you.
Soon I didn't understand you.
Then, again, I was jealous of you.
After the jealousy we became friends, the
ultimate for sisters.
I still hear us giggling and singing while doing the dishes.
Today I am no longer jealous of you, but of sisters.
You see, now I am the older sister.
I'll never stop remembering you. Never!

U.S. Releases Loan
Guarantees To Israel
Washington (JTA) — En-
ding months of delay and
removing a source of in-
creasing friction in
U.S.-Israeli relations, the
State Department has
released $400 million in
long-promised loan guar-
antees to finance the con-
struction in Israel of housing
for immigrants from the
Soviet Union.
The decision was announc-
ed Feb. 20 in a short state-
ment issued by State
Department spokeswoman
Margaret Tutwiler. It said
Secretary of State James
Baker had telephoned
Israeli Foreign Minister
David Levy to inform him of
the decision.
Mr. Baker told Mr. Levy
that the guarantees would
be released for the entire
$400 million, which will
allow Israel to seek the loans
from commercial banks at
favorable rates.
The announcement came a
day after Vice President Dan
Quayle told delegates to the
National Jewish Commun-
ity Relations Advisory
Council plenum in Miami
that the loans would be
released "later on this
week."
The Israeli Embassy here
had no immediate official
comment, but an almost
audible sign of relief could
be heard. Embassy officials
had been bombarded for
months with a continuous
list of questions from the
Bush administration aimed
at ensuring that none of the
money would be used to
house Soviet Jews in the
West Bank or the Gaza
Strip.
Only last week, Israeli
Ambassador Zalman Shoval
accused the administration
of giving Israel "the
runaround" through a series
of almost endless technical
questions. Mr. Shoval later
apologized for his remarks,
which the White House
called "outrageous."
Army Costumes Top
Israel's Purim Parade
Tel Aviv (JTA) -- The Per-
sian Gulf war influenced the
way Israeli youngsters
dressed for Purim.
Favorites among the kids
include the camouflage out-
fits worn by American
soldiers operating Patriot
anti-missile batteries.
But according to one toy
shop, the most popular item
is a child-size Israel Defense
Force uniform, which comes
with a pair of glasses and a
name tag reading
"Nachman Shai, Army
Spokesman."
Gen. Shai, the official IDF
spokesman whose face ap-
pears on television every
time a Scud missile alert
sounds, has had more media
exposure in recent weeks
than most superstars.
His reassuring tones have
earned him the sobriquet
"National Valium."
Purim costumes are priced
between $20 and $25. Some
vendors are offering 20 per-
cent off for the traditional
disguises —Esther,
Mordechai, Haman — which
are not selling as well as the
modern war-inspired dress.
Soviet olim are an excep-
tion to this, however. For
their children, dressing up
as the heroes, heroines or
villains of the Megillah is a
novelty, because most of
them never celebrated
Purim in their lives.
Israeli manufacturers, by
tacit agreement, refrained
from producing what they
are sure would have been
the runaway best-seller this
Purim: a Saddam Hussein
mask.
The modern-day Haman
would have outsold the

original, said one costumer.
"But I decided against mak-
ing money on this war. Mak-
ing a Saddam costume would
be like making a Hitler
costume," he said.
That hasn't stopped bakers
from turning out
"Saddamtashen," which
look and taste exactly like
Hamantashen.
