...Palestine's Tel Aviv and at the Pittsburgh Bible Institute. He believes that black Jews are descended from Jacob, white from Esau, twin sons of Isaac, and that he in particular is of the Tribe of Judah since he bears racial markings mentioned in the Bible-a gap between his upper front teeth, big toes that overlap his foretoes. Although only 600 Harlemites go to Rabbi Matthew's synagog, he believes the Harlem Jewish community numbers some 3,500, basing his figures on hospital records of circumcised Negroes.

Holyoke, Mass., has a cleft palate himself, got into dentistry through his efforts to mend it. Covering the gap in the back of the mouth where the soft palate should be was his problem. Normally during speech the soft palate moves and forms a partition between the mouth and the cavity back of the nose (nasopharynx). Without it sounds reverberate through the nose.

But even they are likely to miss it either because they are slow in recognizing it or because they do not know where it can be found. To bridge this gap in communication between writers and readers small, independent presses every once in a while appear. Liable to crankiness, preciosity and short wind, a few nevertheless make themselves useful. Last week an interesting candidate for usefulness published its fifth book in a series devoted to "work of individualists." The press: New Directions, of Norfolk...
