• In "Women Helping Women"
(June 25, page 62), the $7,200 grant
from the Jewish Women's Foundation
will help fund the Work-Life Balance
Summit next May under the auspices
of the Drachler Program at the
University of Michigan School of
Social Work. No money from that
grant will be directed toward

Scholarship Raised
Maj. Dan Goldfus presents Aviva and
Steven Susser with a book on Israel
during an event that raised $16,000
towards a scholarship for an Israeli sol-
dier.
Terrorists delight in murdering chil-
dren, said Goldfus, who leads
Shayetet, an elite naval commando
unit.
"Israel must give these child murder-
ers fair treatment and a trial," Goldfus
told a crowd of 40 at the Susser's
Birmingham home on July 6. "This is
what separates Israel from its enemies
and makes Israel a country worth
fighting and dying for."

Do You Remember?
July 1974
"We're both isolated. We're isolated by water;
they're isolated by unfriendly neighbors."
— Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle,

for the first time;
