...willing to die for Israel's freedom during the war, but I believe a free family life is an even nobler cause." Life for Law? Israelis at first shrugged their shoulders at what seemed a publicity stunt, but as Barak's fast went on and his husky frame shrank, letters and telegrams began piling up at his bedside. A committee for "Freedom of Conscience" plastered towns and villages with posters. The newspapers joined in, and most agreed with Zmanim, which editorialized: "The legal situation is absurd."

Any radio listener who identifies a "mystery tune" (usually something as well known as The Star-Spangled Banner) receives a coupon to buy "a $14 photograph" for $1. At the studio the prospect is pressured into buying a frame ($2.95 extra), tinting ($6 extra), and perhaps a whole set of pictures. In Chicago, bait advertisers plug a food-freezer plan. By buying in large quantities from a "co-op," the prospect supposedly saves enough to pay off the cost of a freezer. But, says Chicago's Better Business Bureau: "The savings...
