If you’re looking for real news, I hope you’re reading the real newspapers because I can’t touch the news today.  In fact, just writing the word news puts me in a panic attack.  I keep remembering a dinner party in New York a month or so ago when a friend said ‘this is the end of Israel, isn’t it’ and I blew up on her, managing after a minite or so to incorporate my attack into a discussion.  I feel that way now, and I’d be going over old territory if I explain more.  I’m very angry and helpless.

So I’ll go back and tell you something more positive

I guess I’ll have to send in some of the things you’ve sent me and some of the things I’ve been writing in these pages.  I’ll bet they get so much stuff they’ll never be able to process it.
