be the third strike against me?”
He repeats the refrain, “Life
goes on. I stayed. I enjoyed camp
and I got tanner and tanner.”
After he came home he planned
a 25th anniversary party for his
parents. Dr. and Mrs. Charles
Rosenberg, with his brother I.J.,
a sports writer for the Atlanta
papers. “My parents deserved it
after what they went through.
Then I decided to go back to
school.”
His mother. Bunny, reports that
Sammy is making As and Bs in
what he describes as a “heavy,
stimulating course load.” With
the new medicine he has more
energy, is getting lots more exer
cise, and is enjoying good health.
“I feel like in six months 1 did
three years’ worth of maturing
that had been suppressed before.”
Sammy says he bikes or runs
four or five miles a day, does
aerobics and weight lifting three
or four days a week. He finds all
these to be wonderful means of
relaxation.
Sammy’s ambition is to earn
a Ph.D. in child and adolescent
psychology and to help make the
lives of other young people eas
ier. He wants them to learn that
“life goes on, and they can make
something of themselves.”
The Rosenberg family is active
ly working to help other patients
and parents of TS children. A
Tourette Syndrome Association
of Georgia has been formed to
make educators aware of the dis
order and its symptoms, which
are often mistakenly diagnosed
in school as behavioral problems.
The association hopes to reduce
the time lapse between onset of
TS and proper diagnosis and to
provide services to those in need
of assistance.
No government funding is
available so contributions are
being sought to open an Atlanta
office. Its purpose is to provide
education programs, professional
services, parent rap sessions,
patient support groups and a
twice-a-year newsletter of re
sources for both families and the
medical community. More informa
tion can be obtained from Bunny
and Charles Rosenberg or from

You
already are
a Zionist...
If you believe in the unity of the Jewish people and
the centrality of Israel in Jewish life...
If you stana for strengthening the democratic State
of Israel...
If you support the ingathering of the Jewish people
to its historic home, Eretz Yisrael...
If you advocate the preservation of the Jewish
people and their identity through education and
cultural programming...
If you care about the protection of Jewish rights,
and all minority rights, everywhere...
If you believe in these principles of the Zionist
Movement, then you already believe as all Zionists
believe.
But are you acting on your beliefs?
Zionism today.
It all started with a dream...
Zionism emerged from the deep yearning of a
people to return to their Biblical homeland. A people,
dispersed by time and terror, seeking a new national
movement incorporating aspirations so often
challenged by pogroms and torturous times.
It was these aspirations for freedom that were so
similar to those that gave birth to America. And their
fulfillment was the creation of the State of Israel, in
a way that resonates strongly in the hearts of all
Americans. And in the million who have joined
the Zionist Movement.
Is the Zionist Movement
the way?
Without an organized movement in
which Jews are publicly identified, there
can be no democratic action. Not for
peace, nor for the many monumental
accomplishments of recent years
The resettlement in Israel of
1,800,000 immigrants from over
100 countries. The vast educa
tional program for many
hundreds of thousands of
youngsters in Israel and in
the United States. The ini
tiation of the struggle to
rescue Soviet Jewry,
Ethiopian Jewry, and
Jews in peril through
out the globe
You can continue this endeavor as part of a mean
ingful American Jewish community by lending voice
to the Zionist Movement. By standing up and being
counted. This is the American way. The way for the
1,000,000 Americans who presently declare with
pride, “I am a Zionist."
How can I be effective?
1. Affiliate. Join any of the 16 American Zionist
organizations. Just mail the coupon for membership
information. Today.
2. Participate. Come to Philadelphia, where
American democracy began' From January 4th to
7th, 1987, Philadelphia will be home to the American
Zionist Assembly. The climax of our membership
campaign. Here you can be inspired by world-
renowned speakers, learn from celebrated educa
tors, enjoy cultural and spiritual regeneration through
a striking series of programs. And
\ most significantly, share in the
) decisions affecting Zionists the
world over. Ask for enrollment
and reservation details.
3. Vote. As a Zionist organization member, you will
be asked, in May 1987, to help elect delegates to the
31st World Zionist Congress in late 1987. Your
answer has never meant more. The World Zionist
Congress—the parliament of the Jewish people—
is the only democratic legislative body for world
Jewry; your vote is their instrument. Raise your
hand high!
