(SORRY, NO SUBSTITUTIONS CAN BE MADE)

Joan Rivers: Her next book of memoirs, which she is completing, will
tell all, she promises.

Nancy Reagan, but claims to
exercise an hour every mor-
ning (she gets up at 5:30
a.m.), explaining, "I'm going
on a cruise to Greece next
month and I can't wear fur
coats all day."
She has a grueling
schedule, taping two shows
daily for "my ladies," as she
refers to her loyal television
fans. "They all live in
Wyoming and do their iron-
ing while they watch," she
laughs.
One potential guest that
she would like to have on her
show is attorney Alan Der-
showitz, whose book, Chutz-
pah, is a current best-seller.
Though she has no warm
feelings for "star lawyers,"
she said she thoroughly en-
joyed Mr. Dershowitz's mes-
sage that Jews should not be
afraid or ashamed to speak
out.
"The truth is, we're still
not wanted," Miss Rivers
said in all seriousness.
"There is so much anti-
Semitism. All the world's
problems are blamed on the
Jews.
"To be Jewish is terrific,"
she said, "because we're
survivors."
She, too, is a survivor,
someone who, despite all of
her financial and popular
success, says that nothing
has come easily for her. "My
whole career," she once said,
"has been just hard, hurting
little steps."
Part of her success, like
that of many comedians, has
been in turning her hard-
ships inside out and making
them funny. Lately, Miss
Rivers has been dealing with
widowhood in her comedy
act.
"I say that Edgar wanted
to be cremated and have his

ashes scattered over
Neiman-Marcus. That way
he'd know that I'd visit him
every week," Miss Rivers
said. "At first, about a year
and a half ago, the audiences
wouldn't laugh because it
was too soon. But now it's
okay.
"Nothing is off limits for
me," she explained. "I talk
about AIDS —everything
should be dealt with. The
key is how you do it."
She pauses a moment — a
rare moment — then adds:

"My whole career
has been just
hard, hurting little
steps."

"And how do I know there's
a God? Because He gave us
humor."
She then told of a close
friend, a comedian, who,
toward the end of his fatal ill-
ness was so weak that he
could not speak. Miss Rivers
said when she would visit
him and say something
funny, her friend would tap
his finger to his nose, to in-
dicate laughter.
She repeated the gesture,
her private symbol for God's
gift-
"I truly believe," she said

quietly, perhaps more to
herself, "that humor solves
everything." ❑

The first railway line from
the coast to Jerusalem was
opened in 1892. Permission
to construct the single-track,
narrow-gauge line was
granted by the Turkish
sultan, in 1 8 8 8, to a
Jerusalem Jew, Yosef
Navon.
