I have nothing to say about that, but Cliff mentions that Dr. Eby took a trip to "the Holy Land." Which Holy Land do you mean, Cliff? Israel, pray tell? Then how come you don't call it Israel? Look at any modern map. Look at your bible. Ask the government of the country. The country is called Israel. To refrain from calling the country Israel is a serious affront to Jews. For some strange reason, Israel is called "the Holy Land" quite often by the Cristian mass media, I don't know why. Andy Tannenbaum Bell Labs Whippany, NJ (201) 386-6491
