HEAR AND NOW
As the hearing instrument industry enters
an era of improvements inspired by digi-
tal design, the hearing impaired public has
more reason than ever to take advantage
of devices that will e p it to hear better.
Such instruments include those that are
rendered nearly invisible by in-the-ear and
in-the-canal fit. The hearing impaired may
also avail themselves of assistive listening
devices that deliver specific speech and
sound directly to their ears. There are
closed-captioned devices for listening to
TV, as well as hearing instrument features
that help with telephone listening. The first
step in any of these directions involves
recognition of a hearing loss. In the weeks
and months ahead, this column will pro-
vide information that will aid the hearing
impaired in taking this first step on the road
to better hearing.
P.S. Today's advanced hearing instruments
work to alleviate the amplification of back-
ground noise that plagued earlier models.

The Warburgs
Now, author Ron Chernow
has chronicled the lives of this
mysterious, complex and often
tragic family in his new book
The Warburgs: The 20th-Cen-
tury Odyssey of a Remarkable
Jewish Family (Random
House).
For years, the Warburgs
lived a Shangri-La existence on
their massive estate outside
Hamburg. Marriage — with the
Schiffs and Loebs of Wall Street
— brought them to the United
States, where they achieved a
kind of royal status and hob-
nobbed with such figures as
George Gershwin and Albert
Einstein.
But then the Nazis came to
power and charged that the
Warburgs were part of an in-
ternational banking cartel.
Mr. Chernow offers intimate
details of generations of War-
burgs, such as Siegmund War-
burg, a man who considered
reading newspapers a waste of
time (instead, he read con-
densed versions of stories, pre-
pared for him at the office); who
refused to learn to drive; who
wanted to learn Russian, then
told his tutor that illogical Russ-
ian grammar — and not his
own shortcomings — was to
of Germany's biggest-selling
books. Written by University of
Bundesstaat government Pro-
fessor Michael Wolffsohn, it has
just been published in the Unit-
ed States by Columbia Univer-
sity Press.
In Eternal Guilt, Professor
Wolffsohn argues that Ameri-
can Jews, Israelis and Germans
all cling to their historical lega-
cies in an effort to achieve con-
temporary political goals. He
considers the way in which the
Holocaust has shaped German-
Jewish relations, how the Holo-
caust has replaced religion in
defining both Israelis and
American Jews, and why Ger-

many has shifted from a posi-
tion of unwavering support for
Israel to one of criticism of the
country's treatment of Pales-
tinians.
Professor Wolffsohn further
discusses the marked difference
in the way individual Germans
and Jews treat each other, ver-
sus how relations are conduct-
ed on a formal, diplomatic level.
Against State
(Council on Foreign
Relations Press), by
Gidon Gottlieb, fo-
cuses on conflicts that arise
from nationalism and often
threaten world peace, while con-
sidering such complex and in-
tricate issues as self-
determination and the respon-
sibilities of world powers.
Mr. Gottlieb argues that "the
dominant norms of interna-
tional law and diplomacy are ill
adapted to coping with the kind
of strife that has erupted in Yu-
goslavia and in the Caucasus
and that could become common
elsewhere in Eurasia."
While offering his own solu-
tion to dealing with issues of
sovereignty and nationhood,
Mr. Gottlieb considers crises not
only in Yugoslavia but in Ire-
land and the Middle East.
Mr. Gottlieb is director of the
Middle East Peace Project and
visiting senior fellow at the
Council on Foreign Relations.
