dent, unassuming man who was
"straight and genuine," one friend
said. Rabin "didn't behave like oth-
er politicians, who say things they
don't mean."
Of course all the political and
military intrigue are here, as are
details about Rabin's decision to
make peace with the Palestinians.
But the really interesting infor-
mation gives glimpses into the
more personal side of his life.
Rabin knew all too well the ru-
mors that he drank too much, the
authors say. Friends describe Ra-
bin as "a moderate drinker."
Yet the prime minister defi-
nitely smoked, and often.
"He smoked so much," one as-
sociate recalled, "that we installed
a device to absorb smoke at the
entrance to his office. We hid it be-
hind a plant. He never saw it, to
his dying day."
Rabin also eschewed lunch, was
a workaholic and "generally
wolfed down food like a soldier in
the field."
He was an avid tennis player
who hated losing and chastised
himself when he made a mistake,
calling out, "Idiot!" in the middle
of a game. He liked television and
soccer and knew the names of
many actors and actresses, and
was a man who could become so
absorbed in thought he was vir-
tually unreachable.

hirty-eight years ago, The
Temple, the oldest congre-
gation in Atlanta, was
rocked by a bomb.
It was the last thing Atlanta's
comfortable, highly assimilated
Jewish community expected. But
to the temple's rabbi, the message
of the incident was clear: "You
(Jews) are not wanted here."
The Temple Bombing (Ad-
dison Wesley), by Melissa Fay
Greene, is the story of a rabbi who
refused to stop speaking out on so-
cial justice, an often timid and
fearful congregation, and a small
group called the National States'
Rights Party.

Around the collapsible table
they met, drinking Coca-Colas
from the soft-drink machine in
the stairwell; some of them,
bored, pressed the cold bottles
against their hot foreheads, for
despite the heat of the night, the
leaders slammed the windows
shut in case there were spies in
the street.
They spoke in clipped phrases
and rugged voices — they were
outlaws together, like the movie
star James Dean. They chain-
smoked and gave added empha-
sis to their snide remarks by
jabbing cigarette butts into the new
plastic ashtrays.proudly fished out
of a small grocery sack by one of
the members.
Their tough talk included: 'Eet's
go kill a Jew" and "How many
crosses could we burn in nigger
town tonight without getting
caught?" ❑
