nfirely 1 -VC r'Th -Jo nes ON CLIENT'S PERSONAL STYLE I listen and I keep my agenda quiet. So when I go into a project it's not about me. It's a collaboration. It's the client's concepts and my concepts; what emerges is a self-expression of my client. That's the ideal. The attention now given to ORT provides a wonderful opportunity to recall the name and services of one of the distinguished Jewish leaders of this generation, the late Professor William Haber, who was outstanding in the ranks at the Univer- sity of Michigan academics. I would like to use a simple story from my heavy file about Bill Haber. In the Detroit Free Press of Oct. 12, 1979, I quoted another dear friend, Frank Angelo, then managing editor of the Free Press. It gives me an oppor- tunity to thank Frank and to remind him of the years of mutual cooperation in jour- nalism in Detroit. Here is what he wrote 12 years ago: Bill Haber is one of those delightful people who, at age 80, can be rather convincing when he says, " I'm young enough to dream of seeing the (Middle East's) dream become an Iowa a breadbasket again." But then that's not unusual because Haber, who has spent the greater part of his life on the Uni- versity of Michigan cam- pus, has seen plenty of dreams converted into realities. Haber's latest dream developed in recent weeks as he flew above the Nile River in Egypt, noting how a thin strip of land on each side (which had been watered) was verdant. "Just think of what might happen if we can succeed in the desaliniza- tion of the Mediterranean and that's not far- fetched and the water could be used to irrigate more of the desert," he said. "Israel has already demonstrated how much can be done." Our readers will gather from what has already been stated about Bill Haber, ORT and Frank Angelo that there is a duty to keep em- phasizing the positive regarding Israel. We learn here, additionally, the values I have assembled in my treasured archives. NJCRAC Panel Hears Pollard Case Arguments New York — A special Na- tional Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council panel has heard from both sides in the Jonathan Pollard case, but has yet to decide whether to get in- volved in the highly con- troversial spy case. Mr. Pollard's supporters want the ad hoc NJCRAC panel to throw its weight behind legal efforts to gain a new trial for the convicted former naval intelligence of- ficer, who is currently serv- ing a life sentence. Sup- porters consider Mr. Pollard a Jewish hero for giving Israel classified information about Iraqi and Syrian military strength and say his life-term was excessive. In a closed-door New York meeting on May 9, the panel heard from former U.S. At- torney Joseph diGenova, who prosecuted Mr. Pollard, and Alan Dershowitz, Mr. Pollard's attorney. Seymour Reich, former chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish ON USING MICHIGAN DESIGN CENTER The Michigan Design Center is wonderful for me. I'm there a lot and it's great to be able to take a client there. My clients can see the service that the showrooms provide the designers. If I ask the showroom to please communicate to the factory the importance of having the upholstery tailored in a particular way, they share my concern; and that is what is important to me in representing my client. I support the people that support me. C-IGAN Denise Evan Jones Interior Designer Organizations, also took part in the meeting. In a brief statement, Phil Baum, American Jewish Congress associate executive director and chairman of the NJCRAC panel, said the committee will reconvene "within the next six weeks." The ad hoc panel is corn- posed of representatives from the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and the American Jewish Com- mittee, among others. Do Spies Watch Settlers? Tel Aviv (JTA) — Gush Emanim settlers on the West Bank have said Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir ordered the Shin Bet, Israel's internal intelligence agency, to spy on them so the government would be spared such surprises like the re- cent establishment of two new settlements. The Prime Minister's Office denied the charge. D aG\ ce\ - eR Troy, Michigan THE FINEST & LARGEST INTERIOR FURNISHINGS FACILITY IN MICHIGAN. THROUGH YOUR INTERIOR DESIGNER.
