The private ceremony uniting the 28 year old violinist and the motion picture actress took place the Mayfair House on Park Avenue in Manhattan. This is his first marriage and her second. As the Arab riots continued a late-night meeting initiated by the Jewish leadership, at which acting high commissioner Harry Luke, Jamal al-Husayni, and Yitzhak Ben-Zvi were present, failed to produce a call for an end to the violence.
Haganah leaders proposed to provide defense for Jews of the Old Yishuv in Hebron, or to help them evacuate. However, the leaders of the Hebron community declined these offers, insisting that they trusted the A'yan Arab notables to protect them. Gabriel Terra, President of Uruguay issued a special decree, permitting Jewish families, fleeing from Germany, to enter the country. The Jewish National Fund announced that it has reclaimed , dunams of land 75, acres in the Emek since , and that 10, people are settled on it. American Jewish Congress declared a boycott against Nazi Germany. The world Zionist leader, Dr.
Nahum Sokolow, with almost the first words of his presidential speech tonight shattered reports that the nineteenth biennial Zionist congress would sidestep the situation of German Jews, out of deference to delegates from the Reich, who were among the representatives from forty-three nations. After six months in prison, he was sentenced to death today and then executed. He was rehabilitated two years after Stalin died. General debate in the twenty-first World Zionist Congress had to be suspended today after an announcement at the morning's meeting of a decision by the court of the congress to reduce the number of mandates allotted to the Palestine delegations from to Leon Trotsky is attacked by an assassin in Mexico City.
Trotsky will die of his wounds the following day. According to one version of the story, had moved from a fortress like villa to an unguarded homes because of a dispute over a woman. For the next 48 hours about Jews are sent from Paris to Drancy, a transit camp in France. These are the first of 70, Jews who will be deported to Drancy and then to extermination camps, primarily Auschwitz-Birkenau.
The Germans made other Jews come carry the dead bodies through the town, and then hang them from electricity poles. This attacked was the beginning of a series of attacks which lasted for 2 months and resulted in several thousands of Jewish murders. Later in the day, other ZOB members set fire to several Warsaw warehouses. The Jewish community from Falenica, Poland, is liquidated at the Treblinka death camp.
For the next four days, nineteen thousand Jews of Kielce, Poland, are deported to the Treblinka death camp. Three thousand Jews are executed during a revolt at Glebokie, Belorussia. Only one bomber is shot down. This puts the lie to the claim that allied airpower could not have knocked out the rails leading to the death camps or to the crematorium. This had been the plea of many Jewish leaders. The facts of the matter are that allied leaders were not willing to risk planes or men to save Jews. They were escorted by P Mustang fighter planes.
The attacking force dropped more than 1, pound bombs on German oil factories less than five miles from the gas chambers. Despite German anti-aircraft fire and a squadron of German fighter planes, none of the Mustangs was hit and only one of the US planes was shot down. All of the units reported successfully hitting their targets.
On the ground below, Jewish slave laborers, including 15 year-old Elie Wiesel, cheered the bombing. In his best-selling memoir, Night, Wiesel described their reaction: And yet, if a bomb had fallen on the blocks [the prisoners' barracks], it alone would have claimed hundreds of victims on the spot. But we were no longer afraid of death; at any rate, not of that death.
Every bomb that exploded filled us with joy and gave us new confidence in life. The raid lasted over an hour. If it could only have lasted ten times ten hours! Even though there were additional US bombing raids on German industrial sites in the Auschwitz region in the weeks and month to follow, the gas chambers and crematoria were never targeted. The Roosevelt administration knew about the mass murder going on in Auschwitz, and even possessed diagrams of the camp that were prepared by two escapees.
But when Jewish organizations asked the Roosevelt administration to order the bombing of the camp and the railways leading to it, the requests were rejected. US officials claimed such raids were "impracticable" because they would require "considerable diversion" of planes needed for the war effort. But the Tuskegee veterans know that claim was false. They were right there in the skies above Auschwitz. No "diversion" was necessary to drop a few bombs on the mass-murder machinery or the railways leading into the camp. Sadly, those orders were never given.
The decision to refrain from bombing Auschwitz was part of a broader policy by the Roosevelt administration to refrain from taking action to rescue Jews from the Nazis or provide havens for them. The US did not want to deal with the burden of caring for large numbers of refugees. And its ally, Great Britain, would not open the doors to Palestine to the Jews, for fear of angering Arab opinion. The result was that the Allies failed to confront one of history's most compelling moral challenges.
Yitzhak Sadeh, the founder of the Palmach and a hero of the War of Independence passed away at the age of While a name unknown to most non-Israelis. Yitzhak Sadeh was a brave man who played a key role in the founding of the state of Israel. He was the commander for the Palmach units, a soldier, a writer, an educator, and was one of the founders of Tshal. He originally lived in Russia, but he moved to Israel later in his life. Yitzhak was born in Lubin, Poland in He began his military career, by fighting for the Russian army in World War One.
Later, he was honored for his bravery in the war. In , Sadeh joined the Hagganah. He was made commander in the Hagganah, in Jerusalem, shortly after he joined. During the riots, he took part in defending the city of Haifa. This organization was the one that confronted the enemy in their villages and in the army bases. Yitzhak introduced a policy for defending settlements by going out to attack the Arab bands, instead of staying behind the fences of their settlements to await the raids. He also commanded the kibbutz of Hanitah. One of the things that Yitzhak Sadeh is most famous for is founding the Palmach.
He served as chief commander for the Palmach until He was also in charge of planning operations against the British forces. Yitzhak planned many operations involving bringing Jewish immigrants to the Promised Land, Israel. Kibbutz Mishmar Ha-Emek was attacked by Syrian forces, which were trying to divide the country into two parts. When he was promoted, he was able to establish the first armored brigade in the IDF. The Israeli Defense Forces, later, led critical battles for the state of Israel. Also, the Palmach was disconnected.
Sadeh left the military services in After retiring from the army, he wrote many books, essays, and even plays. He would write with the pen name, Y. Sadeh promoted a lot of sports. He was the wrestling champion of St. Petersburg and featured in wrestling performances. He thought of sports being an important part of life and it held important cultural and educational value. They wanted many people to take part in sports. Thousands of sports figures and soldiers, to this day, take part in the Run around Mount Tavor, in honor of Yitzhak Sadeh.
He was a very brave man. Work started on a number of concrete dams, expected to hold back the rainwater accumulating in the Negev wadis during the winter. This was part of the Zionist dream to make the Negev green. Larry Sherry pitches the Dodgers past the Cards for his 12 th win of the season. Earlier in his career, Schoor had been thrown out of the Soviet Union for his news broadcasts.
This makes him one of the few people to be declared an enemy by both the Soviet Communists and right-wing American Anti-Communists. Victoria Poltinikova in Novosibirsk, who had applied for emigration to Israel in with her parents. Seventy-five year old Sid Silvers whose career spanned vaudeville, Broadway and the silver screen passed away today.
Despite the initial rejection by both Israel and Jordan, US officials were still hopeful that their idea of establishing a joint Israeli-Jordanian temporary trusteeship over the West Bank could yet get off the ground. The French government appeared to be reconciled to a new period of chilly relations after Israel rejected its contention that the three new settlements in administered areas hampered peace prospects. The US Central Intelligence Agency told Congressional investigators that enriched uranium, designed to build atomic bombs, was mysteriously diverted from the privately owned American plant to Israel in the middle s.
The UN Security Council never said or did anything about the illegal occupation of the eastern section of Jerusalem by Jordan that lasted for almost twenty years. During that same time, the UN was equally silent when it came to the fact that Jews were not allowed to enter the Old City or that the Jordanians had systematically dismembered the physical remains of the ancient Jewish Quarter.
This lack of equivalent concern is but one of a long list of reasons by why many Israelis and as well as others have lost respect for the United Nations. It was part of centuries old struggle for power that flared up periodically. The PLO had come to Lebanon after having been thrown out of Jordan where it had attempted to overthrow the government. The PLO was a destabilizing force in Lebanon as its fighters took the side of the Moslems and tried to use Lebanon as a base for terrorist attacks against Israel.
The PLO had to go because of its role in destroying the social fabric of Lebanon which had been an oasis of Western progress and civility in among the violent Arab dictatorships of the Middle East. Sixty-six year old Alfred S. Wiki shows the date as August 23 but I will take the word of the NYT Obit writers, a marvelous and trustworthy group of writers.
The New York Times features a review see below of Jerusalem: Rebirth of a City by Martin Gilbert, a first rate book by a first rate author and historian. No city in the world can have captured more imaginations and stirred more hearts over the centuries than Jerusalem. No city, in the 19th century, was more liable to provoke comments on the dismal contrast between past and present, between the image and the reality.
A stream of visitors recorded their impressions of the prevailing torpor, the poverty, the filth, the squalid squabbles between different races and religious communities. In , the year Martin Gilbert chooses to open his chronicle of Jerusalem's reviving fortunes, the American biblical scholar Edward Robinson, one of the earliest archeologists to work in the city, lamented - with good reason - that ''the glory of Jerusalem has indeed departed.
At the end of the century, which is where Mr. Gilbert closes his account, guidebooks were still stressing the stagnation and decay, and most travelers were still recording their disappointment or distaste. Theodor Herzl, visiting the city for the first time in , wrote in his diary that ''when I remember thee in days to come, O Jerusalem, it will not be with delight.
Yet for over half a century important changes had in fact been taking place in the city, changes that were gradually to draw it back into the mainstream of history. Gilbert bases much of his survey on the rich range of literature in which visitors recorded their impressions, his central theme is the slow transformation that was already in progress, but which most visitors underestimated or failed to appreciate. In some ways would have made a more appropriate starting point. In that year a British vice consul took up residence - the only foreign diplomat in the city, though before long the appointment prompted other powers to show the flag.
Russian and French consulates were established in ; an Anglican bishopric was created the same year; in due course Germans, Austrians and Italians made their presence felt, the Germans in particular. An American consul was appointed in and promptly found himself embroiled in a dispute with the local Turkish commander, who refused to arrange a gun salute on the Fourth of July on the grounds that such honors ought to be reserved for monarchies, not mere republics. The consul eventually carried the day.
The diplomatic campaigns were generally accompanied by an increase in missionary work, which inevitably became a fresh cause of dissension in a city already riven by conflicts - often violent ones - not only between Christian, Moslem and Jew but between a multitude of subgroups and separate denominations. The religious life of the city was both colorful and intense, but it all too often reminds you of Jonathan Swift's remark that we have just enough religion to make us hate, but not to love one another. Of the major religious groupings, it was the Jews who recorded the largest gain in numbers during the period Mr.
By Jerusalem had a population of 45,, of whom 28, were Jewish and the rest divided almost equally between Moslems and Christians. Although Sephardi immigrants from many different parts of the world, including Yemen and Bukhara, had settled in the city, the Ashkenazim, who had been in a minority 60 years earlier, now predominated. Most Ashkenazim came from Eastern Europe, most of them were still rigidly orthodox, and heavily dependent on charity from Jews living abroad.
But since the days of Sir Moses Montefiore who had paid his first visit to Palestine in there had been attempts to introduce social and educational reforms, and by the 's change - though it met with bitter resistance - was increasingly in the air. The Alliance Israelite Universelle of Paris played a particularly important part in sponsoring secular education and technical training. Meanwhile modern institutions and inventions had belatedly taken root in the city.
The first printing press was established in , the first hotel in , the first bank in An overland telegraph was opened in an Arab who threw his spear at it was sentenced to death for damaging Ottoman property and hanged from one of the posts. In , the railroad finally made its appearance: By normal 19th-century standards, none of this progress was exactly spectacular, and contemporaries can surely be forgiven for emphasizing the unchanging, even the apparently moribund aspects of Jerusalem.
It is only in retrospect that it is easy to discern in fairly modest developments the shape of major achievements and far-reaching conflicts to come. At the very end of the century, however, two interconnected events should have made it clear, even without the benefit of hindsight that history wasn't standing still. In Kaiser Wilhelm II visited Jerusalem, riding into the city through a triumphal arch on a black charger, in full ceremonial uniform.
Theodor Herzl was there at the same time; he had come specially to meet him. A new and uncertain future was at hand. Gilbert has written a lively book, full of excellent quotations -roundly outspoken and often eloquent in the 19th-century manner - and providing glimpses of figures as diverse as Herman Melville and the future Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, along with many curious minor characters. It is also a handsome book, decked out with a large number of striking photographs In Chicago, The pastor of a black church told members of a Jewish congregation Friday night that the common backgrounds of the two groups should be remembered as the two communities reach toward common ground.
Lenore Strunsky Gershwin widow of Ira Gershwin passed away. She was 90 years old at the time of her death. About three hours after the riots began, early on the morning of August 20, a group of approximately 20 young black men surrounded year-old Australian Jew, Yankel Rosenbaum, a University of Melbourne student in the United States conducting research for his doctorate. They stabbed him several times in the back and beat him severely, fracturing his skull. Before being taken to the hospital, Rosenbaum was able to identify year-old Lemrick Nelson, Jr.
Rosenbaum died later that night. Nelson was charged as an adult with murder and acquitted. Later he was convicted in federal court of violating Rosenbaum's civil rights; Nelson eventually admitted that he had stabbed Rosenbaum.

One condition of U. At a remarkable meeting this week in the Cen- tral Asian city of Alma-Ata, 12 of the IS Soviet republics gave tentative support to a roughly similar common market among themselves. As in 1 , foreign aid ought to be used explicitly to support and develop this demonstrably good idea. The greatest danger now to Soviet reform is the discrediting of democracy. Undersec- retary of State Robert Zoellick recently observed in congressional testimony. The Soviet people are dying to work out a new balance between small political units and the larger economy on which they all depend.
That is a new question for the Soviets but not, as Mr. Zoellick noted, for other countries. Postwar Western Europe is the authoritative model The Marshall Plan was run through an agency that has evolved into the present Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which collects data and offers trch n're 1 advice to all of the industri- al democracies.
Prime Minis ter Brian Mul- roney of Canada suggests rebuildmg it into a place where new states and republics can participate and learn how to man ag e open economies. Currently aid is moving toward the Soviets from many sources, not one. There is a danger that many kinds of help from many differ- ent governments and international agen- cies wiB get badly confused as each donor pursues its own policies.
One great lesson of the Marshall Plan is that all aid needs to be designed to push toward a common purpose. Otherwise it will fund fragmenta- tion and local quarrels. Gates s Get Down to Facts It is easy to mistake what is happening in the hearings on the fitness of Robert Gates to be director of central intelligence. To the casual observer, it sounds lake standard political contention.
A Republican presi- dent nominates, Democratic senators grumble and quibble, and character wit- nesses alternately affirm that the nominee is a rare patriot or a mediocrity.
Suddenly, these bearings are different. The testimony against Mr. Gates this week, is not mere contention or generality. IBs critics, former colleagues, offer document- ed particulars that transform serious ques- tions into grave doubts. These cannot be balanced against fraternal platitudes from friendly witnesses.
All now depends on bow Mr. Gales responds to these particulars. Senior analysts testify that while serving as deputy director of intelligence, Mr. Gates tailored intelligence estimates to suit administration policy on several important occasions. These charges strike at the erne of the relationship between Congress and the executive branch. The analysts say the president may have been deliberately misinformed on occason. But presidents have other lines of informa- tion if interested enough to use them.
Con- gress does not Members who are privy to intelligence estimates tend to treat them as if they were facts. Gates's chief ac- cuser, says intelligence in two critical areas was slanted by Mr. Gates to serve the inter- ests of his late boss, William Casey: Goodman cites instances when, beyond editing, Mr. Gates blocked dissenting views and produced estimates contrary' to the judgment of most analysts.

There seems to be no doubt that Mr. The presentation is a grim reminder that the United States has far to go in meeting the six education goals established by the governors and the president two years ago. The farfetched targets include leading the world in math and science by the year To discover what is truly notable, you must look to the packaging — and the packagers. By compiling reams of data and relating them to the goals, this panel of governors and administration members has offered a valuable almanac on LIS.
Such a multi- state and federal effort would not have been possible just years ago, in the days when what went on in the schools was thought to be primarily a co mmuni ty con- cern and secondarily a state concern. This report is a testament to the new political thinking.
The freshest data in the new report come from the ever- useful National As- sessment of Educational Progress, which for the first time has released mathematics scores based on defined standards. This test survey now measures not just what students know in math but what teachers and others think they ought to know. More than one- third of participating students faded to reach the lowest achievement level and fewer than one-fifth can be considered competent. The National As- sessment will use performance standards in scoring its reading and writing exams in But if Congress does not act, other national tests are likely to be developed just for that purpose.
For it is only when school districts engage in a good we-can-do-better-than- you-can competition that students will start making greater achievements. President Jean-Ber- traod Aristide was elected in an honest landslide and has inspired the Haitian peo- ple and the world with the possibility of honest government that does good.

Hie United States, France and Venezuela have key roles to play. The army can be forced back into bairacks.

Father Aristide should not be set up in comfortable exile in France in the manner of his tyrannical predecessor, Jean-Claude Du- valier.

Why do the nuclear inhabitants of the planet need these potentially life-thr eatenin g arms at all? Why not — in phases, with controls — move nnfmm pittin g and paring and go all the way to zero? Through the Cold War years when both great powers fdt their survival depended on nuclear deter- rence, the iaea was parked way out in left field. Mikhail Gorbachev put it bad: But since then the world has come to look more benign.
The collapse of the Moscow coup attempt was widely taken as heading off any future Sovi- et backsliding. Bush responded with his new nudear program. Bold as be was in announcing it, Mr. Bush was careful to leave room for an ample mid fuDy le gitimiz ed nudear role. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney premised his pitch for the new policy on nudear continuity. Certainly all of this fits the evolv- ing definition of nudear soundness: Rosenfeld hold public opinion, building a framework for further steps.
But none of this addresses the mat- ter of why the United States should not keep going down the nuclear lad- der, or for that matter of why eventu- ally it wffl need the overseas troop deployments whose protection an American nudear presence guaran- tees. Who is the American deterrent now meant to deter? There is an answer available.
It is that while we all are still getting accus- tomed to the new scheme of things, it is prudent and relatively painless to kero some nudear weapons on hand ana to make sure that they are regard- ed as acceptable and legitimate means of defense. Especially is this so for a country like America, which under- takes to protect friends around the wodcL Mr. Bush's tactical retreat — talcing a disarmament initiative in or- der to retain usable nudear options — fits this strategy. Bush could have deterred Saddam without this heavy hint, but you also would have to say that Mr. Bush carried off his nuclear diplomacy well You can add that the identity of the next Iraq does not come readily to mind, but thro you would have to admit that the identity of the last Iraq did not either.
Still I would guess this scat of answer is going to come under ever weightier challenge if the world keeps looking up. Already voices rise in calls for the United States to forswear the first use of As enemies and threats fade, deter- rence may lose its urgency to nudear nonproliferation. This is a goal Washington often had to subordinate to global considerations in the Cold tam its magazine division. The prestigious lwjfeji Flora is dismissing 45 yoasg attor- neys So it Roes.
The economic rewv- fun. People are not even sure it exists. The recovery is frail because meecoopiuy is making a wrenciting transition. Booms in con- sumeTspffldiiJg and office junc- tion haveraded. Exports and business in vestment are emerging as new en- gines of growth. Industries that over- expanded — construction, retailing and the media — are scaling back.
The changes may make tne economy more era dent but the im- mediate fallout is fear and pessimism. Consumer confidence, wnicn jumped sharply after the Gulf war, has been receding ever since, polls show. Strictly speaking, a recovery means that the economy's total production is risin g not falling.
In tins sense, the recovery has started. Housing con- struction, industrial production and pnn qifiwr spending have all increased. Bui the fftins are not big enough to create many new jobs. Jobs are not the only source of doom. Other obstacles obstruct a new surge in consumer spending. Car sales, for example, are hurt by high prices. In , it took a family with the median income 19 weeks to earn War. Giving it pride of place will the price of an average new can by force upon the United States and the u, the average new car cost nearly tone upon the united a tales , few other nudear states the question ci why they alone nave the bomb.
The Washington Post 25 times weekly earnings. StiH odds favor a continued recov- ery. The reasons concern inventories, interest rates and infla tion. They may also spread to other countries. But we should try to make the 21st century an pa when nudear weapons are no longer tested. A comprehen- sive test ban would help prevent pro- liferation and curb the arms race. Among the declared nudear pow- ers — the United States, Britain, France, China and the Soviet Union — the latter is now the most active proponent of such a test ban.
In October , Moscow announced plans to close its Sentipafotinsk nu- clear test facility, and also an- nounced a one-year unilateral mora- torium on testing. The United States has been the main opponent of a comprehensive ban. It has detonated about a dozen unclear weapons a year in recent tunes. In the first 10 months of last year, the United States carried out seven nudear tests in Nevada, three of them in October. Congress has shown some support for negotiating a comprehensive test ban, the White House continues to block any at- tempt to do so, arguing hat testing is needed to improve U.
The key to achieving a comprehro- ave ban within this decade is to per- suade the White House of the need to reconsder its position, and at the same time to prevent other nations on the threshold — North Korea and Paki- stan, for example — from becoming U. After the superpowers halted at- mospheric testing of their nuclear weapons in and began testing underground, China continued pol- luting the atmosphere.
Despite sharp expressions of foreign concern, nota- bly from Japan, Chinese testing went underground only after If a Washington-Moscow accord on. Eventually, inventories get too low. Businesses then increase their new orders. Production rises, in- creasing employment and earnings. The recovery begins to feed on itself.
Falling interest rates should help, he Federal Reserve started cutting a comprehensive test ban were reached without Chinese partidpaiiore from the be g inn i n g , a de fiant Beijing, in a show of independence, would probably continue testing for years. Britain, which tests its weapons there, would most likely have to stop as wdL Under growing pressure to follow suit, France would have to halt its testing on South Pacific atolls.
It would be vital to involve Beijing as soon as posable in any negotiations leading to a nudear test ban. History argues against asking China to join any treaty already signed by the su- perpowers. If a low-interest loan were offered by Japan to the Chinese defense indus- try to help it convert to civilian pro- duction, Chinese leaden might be persuaded to halt all nudear testing by, say, — provided the super- powers did the same. Be contributed this comment to die International Herald Tribune. To one of my generation — whose memories of the Cuban missile and Berlin crises are dear and traumatic — these changes seemed at least as remarkable as those that have en- gulfed the Soviet Umon.
My generation had, after ail lived our adult lives in constant awareness not only of the Cold War but of the mushroom doud. Now the one seems as remote as Guadalcanal the other a lesser threat than global warming. There also was a certain satisfaction in hearing at lasl in a president's words, propositions that Americans once were derided and denounced for By Tom Wicker advancing, such as the withdrawal of tactical nudear weapons from Europe.
Bush said change in tin Soviet Union and Eastern Eurroe meant that an invasion of Western Eu- meani that an invasion of Western Eu- rope was no longer a realistic prospect In view of long-evident Soviet eco- nomic weakness, the predictable un- reliability of Warsaw Pact miiitaiy forces, obvious Western defense ad- vantages and the Soviet- American power equation overall that mi gh t have been said years ago — and was, by some Americans —and the with- drawal ordered much earlier. Nuclear cruise missiles also are to be taken off U. Navy ships — a once-un thinkable step that those who understood the difficulty of estab- lishing adequate controls on these weapons have long advocated.
Most of alL as President Bush spoke, it seemed that as regards the horror of nuclear weapons, the world might ai lasl be moving to- ward quasi-disarmament. That tow courage, as wdl as the vision that George Bush is often ac- cused of lacking. He craild hardly haw chosen a subject of greater importa n c e for his demonstration of both. The New York Times. The Federal Reserve started cutting short-term rates last year. But until recently, long-term rates — those on borne mortgages or corporate bonds — had dropped only slightly.
Now, they are dedinmg more Sharply, which shriiiM simulate hnnsing mnstnietimi and bolster consumer spending. The consumer price index has risen 3. Put all this together, and the best prognosis is for modest expansion. Many economists earned the jobless rate to drop toward 6 percent by the end of next year. Is this good enough? Critics are already saying no. Econom- ic growth would be slower than in past recoveries, they argue, and the Federal Reserve should speed it up with mnch easier credit This is bad advice.
The idea that the Fed should energetically try to accelerate the recovery mis- reads lessons of the past True, the economy grew faster af- ter the recession, but in that slump, unemployment rose to Even with faster growth, the jobless rate did not drop to today's level 6.
There is another fallacy in pointing approvingly to faster recov- aies m the past: They often reignited inflation. Benefits of speedier growth lower unemployment, more produc- tion were temporary. Ultimately, the higher inflation could be controlled only by a deeper recession. Slightly slower growth is more sustains We. America's market economy is not perfect It often achieves good results m disruptive ways. Almost no one admits the obvious: Recessions disd- ptine inefficient firms and shift re- sources workers and investment capi- tal to more productive uses.
The drifts are not gentle or fair, do not find new jobs instantly. Old skills often become useless. There is no avoiding hardship and anxiety. Bui the process is essential if America is to have an economy that creates higher living standards. Jump-starting the recovery with easy credit will not help. It would be a pity if Americans lacked the patience to wait for foe gains. For example, what does tne conviction of a colonel and one of his lieutenants mean? The case appears to open a tiny crack in the immunity from prosecution that the armed forces have enjoyed despite their involvement in tens of thousands of murders and disappearances over the last decade.
More significant, however, is whal did not happen. The jury absolved seven defendants, many of whom had confessed their participation in the executions, and it did not convict the lieutenant who was ordered to have his squad carry out the assassinations. They can kill with impunity as long as they claim they were only following orders. The significance of the convictions may be undermined by a much- expected amnesty as part of a peace accoxti between the government and tiie gaemDasu An amnesty should not protect those wlro nave engaged in war crimes and other hideous abuses.
What did not happen in the courtroom is central to much of what is wrong in Q Salvador. It is a stinging indictment of American policy that virtually aD of the soldiers who stood trial woe products of U. Such messages help explain why, a decade after the United States became heavily involved in H Salvador, the Salvadoran Army still does not understand why all those North Americans got so upset about the killing of a few priests. If the terrible genie cannot be put bade in the bottle, perhaps it can be more stringently safeguarded and made an inter natinn. The millennium has not arrived.
