Approi>os to current debate on creationism versus evolution, we note from;7%e iV^w York Times that in the spring of 1876, ^aphtali Lewy^ rabbi and humanistic writer from Radom in Russian Poland, sent Darwin his recently published Heb^ rew p&mphlet Toledoth Adam. Lewy argued that the theory of evolution was consonant with the Old Testament account of creation. Danyin wrote Lewy an appreciative letter, and'stressed,**! state scientific truths^ I have discovered them and 1 leave it to the theologians to reconcile them with the scriptures. ^

JERUSALEM - "A- great-grandson of Leon Trotsky is pre^ sently studying Torah at the Itn Yeshiva in Jerusalem," Professor Herman Brahover revealed: during the ^th international seminar on worldJewry and the State of Israel, held here,recently. - Soviet leader Trotslcy, son of a Ukraitiian Jewish farn^er, led the revolutionary army of the early Bolshevik regime, quite aware of the fact that his Jewish origin wa« a political handicap, Trotsky favored total assimilation in order to facilitate; the ^ultimate solution' of the Jewish problem through the international socialist reshaping of society. (He later modified hisextreme assimilatory stand). JNJviaCZF

A NEW TYPE of insurance policy just released in Canada is being touted as the solution to the inflation conundrum.
it's called universal life and only two companies are offering it so far. These policies lie between conventional wfible (permanent) and term life products. Like whole life; they offer accumulating cash values that may be borrowed. However, they depart from traditional whole life policies, .since neither the' amount or payment schedule for premiums nor the levels of coverage are fixed.

• Pay the amount of .premiums you choose when you want/subject to certain minimums.
• Earn interest on your cash value that's closely related to short-term market rates (like new-money products).
• Withdraw funds from the cash value, or borrow against it without cancelling your policy, just like conventionar whole life,,,^iolipies.
• Reduce or raise your level of coverage without rewriting the policy. (Normal underwriting requirements such as medicals apply.)
• Build up cash values faster than conventional whole life policies because commission structures.and other charges are not concentrated at the policy's start-up but are more evenly spread out,
• Add life coverage for a spouse/children, or business partner under the same policy.
• Receive annually a policy statement of account that details all transactions -r premium deposits, withdrawals, periodic earned interest rr for the previous year.
