COLUMNIST
WOUK AT 102
A nice thing about CBS Sunday
Morning is it posts its stories on the
CBS news website and leaves them up
there a long time. So, you can easily
see or see again the interview with
famous author Herman Wouk, 102,
which first aired on Sunday, July 2. In
late 2015, his last book, the memoir
Sailor and the Fiddler, was published.
Now he says he will write no more
new books, but he does write in his
diary every day.
Frankly, the CBS interview seemed
like the last word from Wouk. In early
2016, he looked jaunty in a photo
printed in the Jewish News that
accompanied a Sailor and Fiddler
review. He wore nice casual clothes,
including a cool Panama-type hat, and
he sported a long, well-groomed white
beard. In the CBS interview, he is in
a bathrobe, in a wheelchair, with an
oxygen tube in his nose. His beard is
a bit ragged and he wears a simple
yarmulke on his bald head.
Still, his mind is sharp. He quickly
discusses his most famous work, the
Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Caine
Mutiny (based on his WWII naval ser-
vice). He moves on to what he wants
to say is his central life work: “To, so
far as I could, fix down in literature
what happened in World War II and
the Holocaust.” Besides Caine, he
was referencing his two-book WWII
novel saga, Winds of War and War
and Remembrance. The latter graphi-
cally depicted the Holocaust, and that
graphic depiction was also in the 1988
mini-series of the same name.
WHO KNEW? JEWISH ACTORS
ALL OVER ROMANIA
The website Romania-Insider.com had
two stories (July 10) about Jewish
actors filming or about to film in that
country. The first was about Harvey
Keitel, 78, who is there for a film
called See You Soon. On July 6, he
took a day off and went to Leordina, a
small town in northern Romania where
his mother lived until the age of 12.
He visited her childhood home and the
Jewish cemetery where his ancestors
were buried. Keitel said in Leordina,
“I’m thinking of my mother walking on
the streets of Leordina, and after that
in New York. I have all these images in
mind — the little girl who came from
Leordina to New York.”
The town welcomed Keitel with
traditional food and drinks, gave him a
traditional costume and local officials
named him an honorary citizen.

Delaplane
In September, the filming of a big-
budget Western, The Sister Brothers,
will move from Spain to Romania. It’s
based on an acclaimed 2011 novel of
the same name. Jake Gyllenhaal, 36,
plays Herman, an amiable prospec-
tor who is accused of stealing from a
nasty rich guy. The rich guy hires two
brothers, whose last name is “Sister,”
to kill Herman. Joaquin Phoenix, 42,
plays one of the brothers.
SPORT SHORT
Jewish Sports Review magazine is
out with its lists of the best amateur
Jewish athletes in spring sports. Here
are the three Michigan-connected
“best”: Sam Delaplane, pitcher,
Eastern Michigan. A senior, he was
drafted by the Seattle Mariners; David
Vinsky, a Farmington Hills native who
had a great freshman year playing
right field for Northwood University
in Minnesota; and Amanda Moss,
a Bloomfield Hills native who plays
lacrosse for Kalamazoo College. •
