Page 6 THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE TV airing of Vanunu diary spurs privacy rights feud by Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA)—The broadcast of excerpts from a diary kept by Mordechai Vanunu has touched off an angry con troversy between civil libertar ians and Israel Television over the right to privacy. Vanunu is the former nuclear technician who is in custody for giving a British newspaper in formation about Israel’s alleged — nuclear weapons capability. His lawyer, Amnon Zichroni, said last Sunday that he might press charges against the Israel Broad cast Authority. A television reporter said he found the diary in a suitcase in a building were Vanunu once lived. It covers the years from 1982-85 and reveals the writer’s attitudes toward women, family, philosophy, religion and finances. The excerpts read on televi- Gremlins strike again The gremlins that take special delight in invading news paper offices struck again last week and rearranged the lines of several paragraphs in the L’Chaim feature on "Play-Day at the Jewish Home." We apologize. The confusing paragraphs midway through the story should have read: 1 saw a gentleman who was confined to a wheelchair. He held in his arms 6-month-old Hallie Rosenberg. She looked up into his eyes and smiled and cooed with such affec tion. In return this gentleman lit up with a smile that had no bounds. These two were des tined to be a team. Hallie’s mom, Laurie, commented, “They told me he has not smiled in months, until now, that is. That’s why I come to Play-Day.” Even when L’Chaim’s dedi cated volunteer photographer Harold Alan, came to photo graph “Play-Day,” he was so touched he plans to come back and bring his 15-month-old son Michael. Margo Edlin told me that Play-Day has been so satisfy ing and wonderful for their daughter, 19-month-old Adri enne. In fact, it seemed all the mothers agreed it was both special and a rare opportunity. Likewise, the volunteer corps and the staff are delighted with the program and not one person can walk by without joining in, even if it’s just for a pinch, a squeeze, a hug or a kiss. ... janet ronkin’s g)DP©(Ql oXoxuiinKoi PLAN AHEAD Plan NOW for Success this Quarter Prepare NOW for College Entrance Classes Begin Dec. 1 for January SAT Exams • The next Exam is not until April 4th, during Spring Break for some schools. • Prepare now for College Selection and Application Process.

They depicted a troubled man who had difficulty commu nicating with others, who had a “strong urge to prove himself and who feared he was being “followed.” The Civil Rights Association criticized the publicizing of the diary as a “gross invasion of pri vacy.” According to the associa tion, “A man’s diary is one of his most intimate writings and can not be publicized without his consent.” The Broadcast Author ity was accused of violating a 1981 law for protection of privacy. But the Authority maintained that Vanunu stands accused of serious offenses against the state and has lost his right to privacy. Uri Porat, director general of the Broadcast Authority, said pains were taken not to publicize any thing about Vanunu that is not already known and to resist “the temptation to score a great many journalistic scoops which were contained in the diary.” The reporter who obtained it claimed a relative of Vanunu authorized its publication. Zichroni, meanwhile, is on his way to London to prepare for the case. Vanunu was last seen in London on Sept. 30. The govern ment acknowledged only last week that he was “under lawful detention” in Israel and denied he had been kidnapped by Israeli agents. When and how he was brought to Israel remains unex plained.
