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!

I'AmERIcAN soarr °4NcEvR' 4 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 Favorites among the kids include the camouflage outfits worn by American soldiers operating Patriot anti-missile batteries.

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.
