Conventional wisdom might dictate
that the more expensive the car, the
more satisfied the owner. Well, we'd
argue that there's a bit more to cus-
tomer satisfaction than money. Like
a pressure-free showroom and a
pleasant service department, both
full of regular folks—you know,
sort of like you. And at Saturn,
those people happen to come along
with a well-built, affordable car. So maybe
customer satisfaction is all about money, after all. Less of it.
Hope to see you soon.

"They embodied Dr. King's vi-

"They were quintessential vi-

Hate radio, hate speech, hate

Human Services, issued a ring-
ing call for a "new movement for
social and racial justice" in the
face of the nation's economic de-
cline and its retreat from pro-
gressive social and civil rights
policies.
"We must not delude our-
selves," he said. "We're facing
conditions that have been dete-
riorating for quite some time."
And Rabbi David Saperstein,
director of the Religious Action
Center, emphasized the need for
a continuing black-Jewish part-
nership in American politics.
"When blacks and Jews work
together," he said, "we become an
irresistible force." 0

ussian Prime Minister
Viktor Chernomyrdin was
in town for the first high
level meetings between
Russian and U.S. officials since
the shakeup in President Boris
Yeltsin's cabinet cast further
doubts on the future of political
reform in that country.
But beyond low-key state-
ments supporting the belea-
guered reformers, there are few
policy options available to the
Clinton administration.
And that's a matter of grave
concern to Jewish activists who
advocate on behalf of the Jews
remaining -in the former Soviet
Union.
'We're watching developments
with great concern," said Rabbi
Mark Staitman, the new chair-
man of the National Conference
on Soviet Jewry.
"We met with the Russian am-
bassador on Tuesday to discuss
what appears to us to be a mov-
ing away from the commitment
to reform."
The recent appointment of
Yevgeny Primakov as Russian
foreign minister was a particu-
larly ominous portent; Primakov
is remembered here with a dis-
tinct lack of fondness for his ef-
forts to forestall a military
response to Iraqi leader Saddam
Hussein's conquest of Kuwait.
And then there's the Russian
presidential election, with Boris
Yeltsin's future increasingly
clouded and a host of ultra-na-
tionalists and former communi-
ties eager to expand their
followings.
"At the moment, Jews have a
good deal of freedom because it's
politically expedient," Rabbi
Staitman said. "But the recogni-
tion of the basic human rights of
ethnic minorities is only in its
nascent stages in Russia; the pos-
itive climate we see now could
change very quickly."

Mr. Primakov, he said, "is cer-
tainly not identified as one who
has any great concern for ethnic
minorities."
He also said that the Russian
misadventures in Chechnya re-
flect a government that is "deaf
to human rights issues. Their
continuing insistence that Chech-
nya is not a human rights issue
is deeply disturbing."
And the ongoing disaster in
that breakaway republic further
weakens Mr. Yeltsin's grip on
power, he said.
In public, the administration
is taking a low key approach to
developments in Russia — in
part because of a desire to avoid
complicating Yeltsin's already-
difficult reelection bid, in part be-
cause there's little Washington
can do.
"There's a feeling that reform
is slipping away," said a con-
gressional observer of the Russ-
ian scene. "But there's so very
little we can do about it. And ob-
viously, the fate of the Jews still
in that country are hanging in
the balance." D
