...RIBICOFF. Jewish himself and long a key supporter of Israel, the Connecticut Democrat took a surprising early stand in favor of the plane deal. He publicly assailed the Jewish lobby as "self-appointed spokesmen ... who do a great disservice to the U.S., to Israel and to the Jewish community," and privately criticized AIPAC'S director, Amitay, who was once his assistant. Stunned Jewish leaders from Hartford set up a lengthy meeting with the Senator. National Jewish leaders confronted him in Washington, Connecticut Jews in Hartford. The exchanges were acrimonious.

The blizzard of Moro appeals promptly raised a new mystery: was his family, like those of so many Italian kidnap victims, secretly in touch with the kidnapers? Spokesmen said no. But the letters, like some in the past, were delivered in as yet undisclosed fashion to the family and members of Moro's staff, who then passed them on to the addressees.
