...World Zionist Organization, whose U.S. affiliates have 750,000 members. Under the presidency of New York's Nahum Goldmann, 66, the Zionists consider themselves the main "bridge" between Israel and the Jews of the U.S. as well as other countries. They argue that a Jew can be a citizen of any country, but that he should feel a strong devotion also to Israel, which he should fulfill with financial contributions, sympathy and emotional attachment. The World Zionist Organization would like to speak for all U.S. Jews-but it does not and cannot...
Five hundred Zionist delegates from Western countries were grim. World Zionist President Nahum Goldmann, who has threatened to resign if Ben-Gurion does not stop attacking him, admitted sadly that the goal of Zionism is not fulfilled when "less than one-fifth of the Jewish people is concentrated in its homeland." But Rose Halprin, U.S. acting chairman of the Jewish Agency, said flatly: "Mass immigration from the United States is just not in the cards. We will make schizophrenics of our children if we tell them they are not living in their real homeland, that their homeland is really...
...godson, refined this into: "Now friend, what means thy change of countenance?"

Adapter Nahum Tate, who also edited out Lear's Fool (this cut lasted for 157 years), solemnly declared that his only purpose was "making the tale conclude in a success for the innocent distressed persons...
Selinger's satisfaction was not universally shared. Argentina-from whose soil Eichmann had been kidnaped by Israeli agents last month-seemed content to accept at face value Israel's pro forma denial that the kidnaping had ever happened. But in New York, Nahum Goldmann, prestigious president of the World Zionist Organization, was openly troubled by Israel's unilateral action and urged that Eichmann should stand trial for mass murder before an international court rather than an Israeli...
Visibly angered by all this, Israel's Premier David Ben-Gurion lashed back at Nahum Goldmann with the sweeping statement that "historic justice and the honor of the Jewish people" required that the trial be held in Israel. As for "American journalists," shrugged the Premier, they could afford to be "objective" since they had never suffered Nazi atrocities. Despite the strong opposition of his own Justice Minister, Ben-Gurion was clearly determined to seize the occasion for a "show" trial. If he got his way, the trial would be used not only to condemn Eichmann but also to rehearse...
