...instance, as the classic Jewish mother: hectoring, fond, overwhelmingly concerned, vulnerable to slights, demanding affection as a duty, offering sacrifice as emotional blackmail, but basically all heart. Still, she was also a fierce Zionist revolutionary, a driving organizer, a persuasive advocate who made up for her lack of stylish eloquence with a peasant shrewdness and a gift for using simplistic anecdotes to convey home truths. In 1969, for example, when Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser kept stating that another Arab-Israeli war was inevitable, she was reminded of a man in a Russian village who always could predict what...

Gerald Warner Brace, 76, novelist of the New England scene (among his eleven books: The Garretson Chronicle and The Islands) and longtime professor of English at Boston University; of cancer; in Blue Hill, Me. A stylish lecturer who in spired thousands of students with his incisive and dry-humored dissections of American literature. Brace, though born on Long Island, developed a lifetime love affair with New England (and particularly Maine) that was reflected in the values that his life and novels extolled: duty, moderation, self-control and, above all, the enduring power of reason...
