Henry Kissinger rose above ideological con- siderations to help open the door to Communist China, convinced the electorate that detente with the Soviet Union was a realistic and necessary approach and. in a demonstration of virtuoso dip- lomacy, laid the groundwork for an Israeli- Egyptian peace. At the same time, he prolonged U.S. involve- ment in the Vietnam War for almost four years, dismissed as irrelevant the moral question of human rights, and practiced an elitist foreign policy that excluded Congress, the State Depart- ment and the American people. This contrasting assessment of one of the most controversial figures in modern American history is made in The Crises of Power, a new book that examines United States foreign policy during the Kissinger years. Written by Brandeis University political scientist Seyom Brown of Newton, who was a, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution when Kissinger held public office, Crises of Power recounts the often erratic course of American foreign policy during the Nixon and Ford ad- ministrations /era- Comn 11 M liter administration to -ith the ommunity He will assume his duties on a part-tim. bfl Sara Seanor, of Decatur, (.a., who has worked with Sanders during hi- tenure, will sta\ on Bfl incipal assistant.

U.S. Senate to adopt a bill to investigate the re- location and internment of more than 100,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry during World War II and to recommend "appropriate remedies" if wrongs were committed. In a letter dated Mar. 26 to the Senate Com-I rnittee on Governmental Affairs, ADL national director Nathan Perlmutter asked why Japanese Americans were "singled out and deprived of liberty and property without criminal charges or trial." "Was it necessary," he went on, "to insulate! Japanese Americans from the possible effects of al wartime hysteria? Was it the consequence of] prejudice and discrimination against persons ofl Ja pa nese ancestry?'' The letter was addressed to Connecticut Sen.

The fight against discrimination, which made substantial progress in this country in the 1960s and 70s, may make further advances in the 1980s if two conditions are met: The election of a president, with his appointive power to the {supreme Court, who is in sympathy with this objective; and continued cooperative efforts by Blacks, Hispancis. ethnics, Jews, women, and others.

NEW YORK The Arab In- formation Center in the United States, a branch of the League of Arab States, has published the first issue of a new monthly in English named Arab Perspective. The editorial of the first issue, written by Colovis Maksoud, the permanent observer of the Arab League to the United Nations, states that the goal of the sleek and modern publication is "to contribute to the understanding" between Arabs and Americans, an understanding "that has so long eluded us." The April issue of Arab Per- spectives contains 70 pages and includes articles on Zionism written by Moshe Menuhin, who is described by Arab Perspective as "one of the principal American anti-Zionist Jews." The article is replete with the standard anti- Zionist tirades. It also praises Yasir Arafat, describing him as "that wise, brilliant Yasir Arafat," a "worthy leader of the Arab nation." ^ ^ Yigael Yadin operation humiliated the United States and did severe political damage to President Carter.

The and other learned f it 1 NEW YORK Thousands braved intermittent shower- and unseasonably cold weather Apr. 21 to march 10 blocks down Fifth Avenue and then east to Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, across from the United Nations, to demonstrate their support for Soviet Jewry. The annual "Solidarity Sunday for Soviet Jewry." sponsored for the ninth consecutive year by the Greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry, has traditionally brought large turnouts of Jews and non-Jews, with men. women and young people from New Eng- land to Maryland marching with their synagogues, organizations and fraternal groups. Mervin Riseman. chairman of the GNYCSJ, estimated the turnout at 100,000, despite the inclement weather. Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, spiritual leader of Manhattan's Congregation Kehillath Jeshurun, who was chairman of "Solidarity Sun- day," looked at the dwindling crowd in the plaza as the rain poured down and declared, "Because you stand in the rain, Soviet Jewry will have sun- shine." But he also promised that speeches would be short. JEL AVIV Israeli political and military leaders spoke with both sympathy and frank criticism over the weekend of the disastrous failure of the American attempt to rescue the 50 hostages held at the U.S. Em- bassy in Teheran. Inevitably comparisons were made between that abortive effort and Israel's successful rescue of 100 hostages from Entebbe Airport in Uganda in July, 1976. 8 The consensus of opinion here was that the abortive American TEL AVIV Mayor Jerzy Majewski of Warsaw has ac- cepted an invitation to visit Israel as new relationships ap- peared to be developing between Israel and Poland in the spheres of culture and historical research with respect to the once great Polish-Jewish community which perished in the Holocaust. The invitation was extended by Deputy Mayor Yitzhak Artzi of Tel Aviv who was a member of the delegation of former Jewish underground fighters who battled the Nazis in Poland during World War II. No date haa been set for the visit, but it may coincide with the visit to Tel Aviv next fall of the Warsaw Jewish Theater.
