"There's a medieval Jewish cemetery there from the 1200s. There's a lot that has yet to be discovered." About 100 people attended the June 9 event and were treated to tours of the Levys' home, replete with sunroom, sculpture garden, art and rare-book col- lections. Political analyst and Wayne State University journalism professor Jack Lessenberry moderated a humorous discussion between attorney Geoffrey Fieger and WWJ-AM radio weather personality Sonny Eliot about "the crazy world we live in." 1=1 Onna Solomon and nathan Schwartz, both of Ann Arbor Eliza vith Zenkekh of est, clack Lessepberry Bloomf of HuntingtoryVVoods It Doesn't Have To Cost A Fortune...Only Look Like It!
