...Alhambra Theater, practically everyone who was anyone in Israel was there: Premier Lev! Eshkol, Foreign Minister Golda Meir and the rest of the nation's official mishpachah. And when the curtain came down on the Hebrew adaptation of Broadway's Fiddler on the Roof, who should rush backstage but the Premier himself. Said Eshkol after toasting the cast: "Nu, nu, it's not exactly Sholom Aleichem, but I have never enjoyed an evening in the theater so much in my life." Israel's most formidable critic, Chaim Gamzu-whose last name is now the idiom...

...years-but the recognition by a new generation of church leaders that their traditional conception of sin and evil must be broadened. The Rev. Browning Ware, of Beaumont, Texas, expressed the general anxiety vividly. He questioned pastors who "buckle on the armor of protectors of public interest and rush to do battle with gambling, liquor, and separation of church and state" while taking little heed of "conflicts in human relations, adequate education, and poverty...

Furthermore, I am in favor of the civil rights movement. But I feel that the rush of clergy to join it in the 'sixties can be, and in many cases is, of purely secular origin.

...Weaver's "Martin Luther King at Oslo." When Weaver writes "the white community is bursting with paternal advice for its little brown brothers," he does exactly what he told me not to do: he looks at someone's skin and sees the big bad wolf.
