Standard dual airbags, a steel reinforced cabin, and front and rear crumple zones. It's certainly what you'd expect from a luxury car. The new 1997 LS 400 goes one step further: We've added front seat-mounted side-impact airbags.* Other car companies may meet expectations. But Lexus surpasses them. Test-drive the new LS 400 today.

"If you look at the Generation X voter, particularly, you're look- ing at a voter who's less connect- ed to Israel, more connected to the idea that Judaism is about social justice and reaching out," said po- litical consultant Jennifer Laszlo. `The idea of tikkun olam is criti- cal to Jewish involvement, but it's a broad concept, hard to get your hands around; and if you can't get your hands around it, it's hard to use it as a political asset." One group of Jews who do con- tinue to vote as Jews is a politi- cally ascendant Orthodox community. New York City Councilman Noach Dear, who represents a largely Orthodox constituency, said the idea of a unified Jewish bloc is a misnomer. `There are voters who are not affiliated, who are not guided by anything but by their own per- sonal philosophy. Then you have the religious community, Ortho- dox and Chasidic. They're unit- ed around quite a few issues, and tend to vote when they see that the Jewish community is being threatened, or when something good is happening," he said. The result, he said, is that "the Jewish vote is becoming less im- portant nationally — but more important in selected local areas, where the Orthodox community can swing the vote." The Orthodox community's po- litical importance is amplified by the fact that it is a real swing vote: It can deliver for Democrats or Republicans, liberals or con- servatives, depending on the can- didates' responses to the community's top issues. As the Jewish presence at the polls has declined, Jewish in- volvement in campaign finance has soared. Nobody knows how much cam- paign financing comes from Jew- ish checkbooks, but everybody knows the proportion is high. "The best guess is that Jews are responsible for between 25 and 30 percent of the campaign finance money for Democrats at the national level," said Dr. Hochbaum, the American Jew- ish Congress political guru. "American Jews are clearly overrepresented in their contri- butions to both parties," said Morris Amitay, a longtime pro- Israel fund-raiser in Washing- ton. "You have a very affluent segment of society that is inter- ested in causes — one of them, thank God, being Israel." Mr. Amitay estimates that 30 to 40 percent of the funding at the presidential level comes from Jews. Although Mr. Dole can expect to receive only a small chunk of the Jewish vote next month, he already has received huge amounts of money from prag- matic Jewish contributors. 1
