THERE cannot be the slightest doubt that a state of mind very much like that of Israel now prevails among American Jews.

One man has the sole duty of patrolling the cemetery endlessly to remove withered wreaths and fading flowers from the markers. From neighboring Fort Myer, 60-odd husky, white-gloved soldiers act as pallbearers, buglers, riflemen (to fire a farewell volley into the air at every military burial) and 24-hour-a-day sentries...

No votes will be taken, but two or more groups may arrange for joint activities at any Forum meeting...
