"YES, THERE IS
LIFE AFTER
BREAST CANCER.
AND THAT'S THE
WHOLE POINT."

–Ann Jillian

A lot of women are so afraid of
breast cancer they don't want to
hear about it.
And that's what frightens me.
Because those women won't
practice breast self-examination
regularly.
Those women, particularly
those over 35, won't ask their doc-
tor about a mammogram.
Yet that's what's required for
breast cancer to be detected
early. When the cure rate is 90%.
And when there's a good chance
it won't involve the loss of a
breast.
But no matter what it involves,
take it from someone who's been
through it all.
Life is just too wonderful to
give up on. And, as I found out,
you don't have to give up on any
of it. Not work, not play, not even
romance.
Oh, there is one thing, though.
You do have to give up being
afraid to take care of yourself.

Brother's Keeper tells the story of the
more than 1,000 Americans and Cana-
dians, Jews and non-Jews, who fought
in Israel's War of Independence.
They include men like Rudy
Augarten, who graces the book's dust
jacket. Augarten had been shot down
over occupied France during World
War II and survived 63 days behind
enemy lines. He left his studies at
Harvard to fly for Israel.
"The contribution [of American
and Canadian volunteers] to the strug-
gle for liberation — which to most
military experts in the world seemed
doomed to failure — was crucial and
effective. They brought with them
World War II experience, Western effi-
ciency, exemplary dedication and infi-
nite courage," writes Binyamin
Netanyahu in his introduction. "The
secret of our survival lies ... in the feel-
ing of oneness which unifies our peo-
ple in times of crisis."

Israel: A Photobiography

By Misha Bar-Am with an essay by
Thomas Friedman; Simon 6- Shuster;
$40.
"Everything about Israel is about
itself and something else," writes New
York Times columnist Thomas Fried-
man (From Beirut to Jerusalem) in his
essay that accompanies this volume of
photographs by Misha Bar-Am. "A
sidewalk is a sidewalk, and a road
where Jesus walked. A wall is a wall,
and the place where Joshua fought the
battle of Jericho. A hole is a hole, and
a bomb disposal device."
While Bar-Am's photographs show
us the events that have shaped Israel's
path, Friedman's essay explores the
implications of Israel's first 50 years
and the nation's powerful struggle
between its past and its future.
Bar-Am, Israel's foremost photogra-
pher and the New York Times' photo-
graphic correspondent from 1968-
1992, was active in the pre-state
underground and has been present to
record virtually every other event in
Israeli history The only Israeli photog-
rapher currently affiliated with the
Magnum collective, Bar-Am has cho-
sen Israel for what he describes as his
"lifetime assignment."
This book's mostly black and
white photographs focus primarily on
religion and the military, the two
dominant themes of Israeli life. Their
stark realism imbues Bar-Am's images
with a power all their own, but like
any good biographer, he also places
them into the larger perspective of
the time.
