understood the depth of feel-
ing in the Jewish commun-
ity on these issues before
Dennis Ross reported to
him," Ms. Cardin said.
"What he told us is that at
no point should we construe
the pursuit of U.S. policy,
and in particular policy on
settlements, as indicating a
turning away from the rela-
tionship with Israel. I think
he heard that there is a lot of
pain in the Jewish commun-
ity over this issue and over
this mood."
The lack of surprise among
Jewish activists over Mr.
Baker's alleged statement
also reflects the commun-
ity's growing unease over
the hard-edged political
mood at a time when Patrick
Buchanan is running hard
on the right and foreign aid
is opposed by most Ameri-
cans.
As for Mr. Baker's alleged
use of an expletive in refer-
ence to Jews, "people believe
he is capable of saying it,"
said William Rapfogel, di-
rector of the Institute for
Public Affairs of the Union
of Orthodox Jewish Con-
gregations of America.
"That doesn't make him an
anti-Semite; it's politics. But
the question is whether po-
litical matters are weighing
on his decisions as secretary
of state, especially regarding
the Middle East peace pro-
cess. That's the real issue
here." ❑

guarantees, but Bush and
Baker are trying to influence
the outcome of the Israeli
election.
The Reagan/Bush elections
have been made possible in
part by the Jewish communi-
ty. I hope that in this election
year we will look at the hun-
dreds of thousands of jobs that
have been lost in the last 10
years.
In addition, I hope we will
look at how the need for our
contributions to put food on
other people's tables is 10
times greater. We should use
these things as well as the
Bush attitude toward Israel
and Jews and put an end to
this unhealthy regime .. .

At the Jewish Home for Aged, that
special ingredient is our Jewish
tradition. It's what sets Friday
evenings aglow with the warmth of
Shabbat candles, softly spoken
blessings, fresh baked challah, and
steaming bowls of kosher chicken
soup shared among old friends.

Jewish tradition sets us apart;
turns our house into a Home, and
our residents into caring friends.

administration is rapidly
moving away from the
`special relationship' with
Israel," said one participant.
"The meeting was respectful
— but very tense and very
blunt. He came away with a
strong feel for the anguish of
our community over the
events of the past few mon-
ths."
Seymour Reich, the former
chair of the Presidents' Con-
ference, confronted Mr. Ross
with charges that the at-
mosphere was being
"poisoned" by recent ad-
ministration actions.
"While we may get over
the problems created by the
loan guarantee controversy,
my concern is over the long-
range relationship that is
being affected by the strong
rhetoric coming out of the
administration," he said.
The next day's uproar over
Mr. Baker's alleged com-
ments about the Jewish vote
exploded in the midst of this
burgeoning anxiety.
After the meeting with Mr.
Baker, Ms. Cardin em-
phasized that unless a
witness to the incident steps
forward, she is prepared to
accept the secretary's denial.
But the powerful sense of
unease within the Jewish
community, she said, is
undeniable — a message
that she says Mr. Baker
heard and acknowledged at
the Friday meeting. "I don't
think he (Mr. Baker) really

As a graduate of Southfield-
Lathrup High School and as
a member of ACT-UP (AIDS
Coalition lb Unleash Power)-

Chicago, I am appalled at
your coverage of the AIDS
crisis. Yes, money is
desperately needed. But
without the government's
compassion and laws to
match, we will lose a whole
generation to this pandemic.
Now what can the average
person do to stop the spread
of HIV?
Educate yourself and your
family about HIV and AIDS.
Tell your children (and
grandchildren) how to have
safe sex. Don't just preach
abstinence. Seventy percent
of high school students are
sexually active.
Make dinner for, give sup-
port to, or just hug a person
with HIV.
Ask your city council to pro-
tect those with HIV from
discrimination.
Force your federal govern-
ment to spend your tax
dollars to help those with
HIV and to stop fueling the
hysteria.
