I would like to call to the attention of my colleagues an excellent series of articles depicting life in Israel which recently appeared in the Minneapolis Tribune. The author. Frank Premack. traveled extensively throughout the country in order to present a wellbalanced picture of the problems Israel faces as it celebrates its 25th anniversary. Although emphasis is usually placed on the external problems Israel faces with her neighbors. the article describes the severe internal problems faced by a nation which serves as a melting pot for immigrants from 102 different countries. When Israel was granted statehood in 1948. its population stood at 650.000. today her population has swelled to 3 million. including Oriental Jews Irom Yemen. Tunisia.
