Playboy magazine in the ear-
ly '60s, feels that "cartoons
are even more important for
Jews than they are for anyone
else. The classic anti-Semitic
images of Jews in Nazi
caricatures helped in reconcil-
ing the non-Jewish public to
what the Nazis were doing.
That's how powerful cartoons
are. And that's why as an
Israeli I feel I have to do
caricatures showing our point
okf view."
Mr. Yehizkiyahu sees a
bright side to the almost over-
whelmingly "loaded" posi-
tion in which Israeli car-
toonists find themselves. "We
should consider ourselves
lucky. Israeli politics makes a
lot of work for us and history
is made here nearly every
day."
Visitors to the exhibition
could not help but walk away
with a new sense of the poten-
cy of the cartoon. For better or
worse, the cartoon's power to
damn or apotheosize its sub-
ject is beyond words. ❑

Sunlight Is
A Disinfectant
Rehovot, Israel — Highly con-
centrated sunlight seems to
effectively purify con-
taminated water, according to
Israeli research. This is of
considerable significance
because many of the
dangerous pollutants that
contaminate surface and
underground water are not
broken down by the usual
water-treatment procedures.
Professor Emeritus
Mordehai Halmann of Israel's
Weizmann Institute tested
the applicaiton of light-
assisted catalytic degradation
of a variety of pesticides, her-
bicides, urea derivatives and
halocarbons — all organic
pollutants that commonly
find their way into vital water
resources. He did so by taking
groundwater from a severely
polluted well along Israel's
coastal aquifer, putting it in-
to dark glass bottles and mix-
ing in a titanium dioxide
catalyst; the liquid was
transferred to sealed glass
flasks in order to prevent any
loss of contaminants through
evaporation, and then ex-
posed to sunlight.
Of the 14 different con-
taminants tested in a 14-day
preliminary survey, the con-
centrations of 12 decreased
drastically, reaching negligi-
ble levels; the remaining two
were also reduced, but to a
lesser degree. A detailed
series of follow-up ex-
periments confirmed the
results. ❑
