Based oh conversations with **Avner,** allc;ged Israeli commander of a Mossad "hit team,** rieportedly chosen personally by the late Golda Meir, it details James Bond style chases and the killing of PLO leaders in various €urdp(eian and Mideast cities.

Dear Mr. Kaplan:
On behalf of members of the Golden Age club, we wish to express sincere gratitude to the Jewish Community Centre administration for their special kind of interest and support.•
The Golden Age club has enjoyed liberal use of Centre facili- ^ small area for food preparation. Moreover, her secretary aiyl ties throughout many years at a very low cost, and particularly <?onridan,t, Lou Kedar, probably would have served the tea and
The alleged "Avner" is actually a 38-year-oId Israeli Yored, Yuval Abayov, who lives with his wife and two daughters in the U nited Stateis, undoubtedly under an alias. His father wais a driving instructor in the Israeli Army who passed away two years ago;,and his mother Batya, a convert of German origin, lives in Rishoh Lezioii. Bis brother Assy has insisted that Yuval
worked as sky marshal for El Al Israel Airlines, a fact not disputed by the airline, :in keeping with their policy not to furnish information on security personnel.
Major Gur-Arie(alias Lotz) told a Maclean's reporter that he ^nd his late wife knew Yuval Abayov*s parents socially. He statied thatalthough Yuvalworked for a security agency-, he had no doubts whatsoever that Abayov's story was a fake and sotd as a means of 0Uiking'6asy money^:
The London O^ierver revealed that three other wrhers were apprdached^'/as:Wellas Simon and Schuster publishers, but all declined to^write: or publish the story because it could not be authenticate^
'Inhere are.|ust too many^points in the book that the^a^vera^e reader must discount as pureTiction.
Forexample, the James Bond system of a "hit. team" is Msed only in thrillers. Such activities in reality are undertaken in ways that will look casual and therefore are operated by persons unknown in strike areas. This requires lengthy preparation among unknown, unconnected and unidentified operatives; and this means one venture only per agent — then.the agent is piit behind a desk somewhere directly afterwards. Hence, there is no ongoing"teanT** Moreover, recognized personnel, such as sky marshals, bodyguards or family members of other agents —mainly^those caught by the enemyare never dispat<:hed on such actions. . ," '

But Golda hosting Arik Sharon is sheer, unadulterated nonsense. Sharon was the first casualty when Golda becaine Prime Minister. She hated him;, had no confidence in him; :a^d a month after taking charge, had4tim removed from the General Staff to the farthest point of command. Furthermore^;Sharon, an outstanding field commander, is not an expert on undercover operations or single-handed assignments by agents. . VIEWPOIlNT.-Page 16
