LESS FATTENING THAN CAND

The Qadhaffi meeting de-
stroyed whatever credibility Mr.
Farrakhan may have won from
his Million Man March in Octo-
ber, according to B'nai B'rith
president Tommy Baer.
"Once again, Farrakhan is
sending vastly different mes-
sages depending on his audi-
ence," he said.
State Department spokesman
Nicholas Burns summed up the
Washington reaction to the news
that Farrakhan and Qadhaffi
were teaming up to influence
American politics.
"It's a nutty idea. It's a naive
idea to think that Muammar
Qadhafi could have an impact on
the U.S. elections, or that he
should try to have an impact on
the U.S. elections. It's a surreal
idea."

Two Are
Honored

The explosion of anger and
despair by Ethiopian emigres in
Israel was not enough to cast a
pall over a celebration of black-
Jewish cooperation in Washing-
ton.
But a number of speakers at
the annual Martin Luther King
commemoration at the Israeli
embassy — including one of the
honorees, Rep. Kweisi Mfume,
D-Md. — referred to the violent
protest and its causes, and urged
the Israeli government to make
a full and fair investigation of the
treatment of the Ethiopian im-
migrants.
Deputy Chief of Mission
Shlomo Gur, in his opening re-
marks, termed the policy of dis-
carding blood donated by
Ethiopian Jews because of fears
of the AIDS virus a "blunder,"
and he conceded that the process
of absorbing the black Jews has
been complicated by "bureau-
cratic stupidity, sometimes oth-
er reasons. But we will continue
to be committed to the absorp-
tion of new immigrants from
wherever they come, with no dif-
ference of sex, age or race."
Mr. Mfume, who leaves Con-
gress this month to take over the
troubled National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP) and longtime
civil rights activist Peter Edel-
man were this year's recipients
of the Civil Rights Leadership
Award presented by the Reli-
gious Action Center of Reform
Judaism.
In referring to recent tensions
in Israel, Mr. Mfume urged his
audience of blacks and Jews to
"pledge that we must not allow
a wonderful dream of religious
reunification to ... turn into a
nightmare of discrimination, ei-
ther real or imagined."
Echoing a popular theme at
this year's ceremony, Mr. Mfume
