Other Russians with the same sort of quasi-official authority have been making similar soundings in other capitals recently. In Washington, the correspondent for Israel's influential newspaper Ha'aretz has suddenly become the lunch companion most in demand among Soviet journalists. Around the table, the conversation turns inevitably to the same subject: the chances of resuming diplomatic relations, which were severed by Moscow at the climax of the 1967 Middle East War. To calm Russia's Arab allies, Soviet officials at the United Nations denied last week that any soundings were being made at all. Actually...
Amos Elon is a columnist for the distinguished Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz. He went to Israel when he was only two, but he was born in Vienna, educated in England as well as Israel, and as a foreign correspondent lived in Washington, Bonn and Warsaw. He is therefore a cosmopolite who believes that "it is extremely hard"-and extremely important-"for one man to understand the nationalism of another."

More often than not, Sylvie's arrows are dipped in venom. Her columns have twice prevented prominent politicians from being appointed to the Cabinet. Now, she says with a twinkle in her eye, most of Israel...
Like Childbirth. Born in 1930 in France, Sylvie was brought to Palestine at the age of five. After compulsory army service, she wrote movie reviews for a local weekly newspaper, then began her Ha'aretz column seven years ago. She rarely interviews, choosing her topic three days before deadline and then digging madly into archives, her memory and notebooks. Sitting at a baroque table cluttered with books and papers, she dashes off her piece with a pen. She never rereads or edits it. "When I begin my research, I hope for a miniholocaust or a broken leg or something...
