FALL PANTS & SUITS
Jerusalem/JTA — Lebanon inaugu-
rated a project to divert water from a
border river in a plan that has raised
tensions with Israel.
Lebanon says it plans to pump
some 4 million cubic meters annually
from the Wazzani River. Before the
inauguration, the leader of
Hezbollah, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah,
warned that it would retaliate swiftly
if Israel takes any action against the
station.
Israel has repeatedly warned that
Lebanese efforts to divert water from
the Wazzani River could lead to war.
The Wazzani feeds into the Hat-zbani
River, which provides about 10 per-
cent of Israel's water. The United
States has been trying to mediate the
dispute.

Jerusalem/JTA — Yasser Arafat held
meetings to discuss the makeup of a
new Palestinian Cabinet. Arafat met
with members of the PLO Executive
Committee and Fatah Central
Committee, Israel Radio reported.
Palestinian official Nabil Sha'ath
was quoted as saying that Arafat was
expected to announce his new
Cabinet by the weekend. The previ-
ous Cabinet recently resigned to
avoid a no-confidence vote by
Palestinian lawmakers.

assassination, were to include memo-
rial ceremonies in Israeli cities and a
special Knesset session. Rabin was
killed on Nov. 4, 1995, by Yigal
Amir, a right-wing religious student
opposed to Rabin's land-for-peace
policies with the Palestinians.
Georgia Jew
Sues County
Atlanta/JTA — A Georgia Jew is
suing his school district for challeng-
ing the theory of evolution.
Jeffrey Selman filed the lawsuit
against Atlanta's suburban Cobb
County School District, following the
school board's decision in August to
place stickers in science textbooks
calling evolution a scientific theory,
not a fact.
Then the seven-member board
unanimously voted in September to
allow educators to teach both cre-
ationism and evolution.
Selman, who has the backing of the
Anti-Defamation League, may
expand the lawsuit to include the
September vote, which he said kow-
tows to a "vocal, myopic, sectarian
minority."
Candidate Target
Of Anti-Semitism
Honalulu/JTA — A Jewish candidate
for governor in Hawaii received anti-
Semitic mail.
Linda Lingle, the Republican can-
didate, has received death threats and
some postcards with swastikas,
including a postcard that said: "Go
Back Home! Haole (foreigner) Jew!
Your (sic) Evil!" with a drawing of a
swastika and the letters "SS."
Lingle also received anti-Semitic
calls and notes during her 1998 cam-
paign but on a smaller scale, a cam-
paign spokesman said.
