1967August 23)
Last night we spent an hour at the Meadows - Ann told about a wild tea she attended to honor a girl from India dressed in a sari (named Maude Murphy!). It was at the height of the Arab-Israeli war. As they sat sipping tea, one large-busted woman folded her arms and took a stand. "Push them into the sea!" she would exclaim. "Drive the Jews into the sea!" Nearly everyone else there knew Ann to be Jewish. One meek soul did say, "I do think, don't you, we should all try to practice brotherhood?" The worst part was the Indian had come here to observe the religious tolerance she had heard America stood for.
