In the New York Times article "Is Law School a Losing Game" (David Segal), Sunday Business section, January 9, 2011 it points to significant lying on the part of law schools to convince potential students to pay 250,000 US Dollars (on loan) to get a law degree. The professors are well-paid. However in 2008 15,000 jobs as lawyers disappeared. The US News and Report magazine annual article recently indicating that 93 percent of lawschool student are employed 9 months after graduation does not include what percent of these grads are working in irrelevant work in hotels and restaurants. The numbers are not so clear but would shock most of us, if we only knew.
Considering that lawyers usually become our politicians in the United States, it's my opinion that we are preparing them for that word play and movie "Lawyer-Lyer". They will have to commit unimaginable competition, deception and lies to get a job, and pay back these loans, if the supply of lawyers and law schools is not reduced.

Ilanit, Israeli Singer
http://escforum.net/forum/showthread.php?8792-Israel-1977-Ilanit-Ahava-hi-shir-lish-nayim
Ilanit was a very popular Israeli singer. Her last album was Brazilian Dream, which I'd like to hear. Beside liking her as a singer, I was friendly with her uncle Nachum Drezner, a tailor in central Tel Aviv (Rehov Binyamin), who was a leading advocate of Esperanto is Israel. He unsuccessfully asked her to sing in Esperanto.
I can dream though.
Karaj brazilaj amikoj, Mi logxis en Israelo 11 jarojn kaj 1 jaron en Brazilo. Kiu kantas hebree kaj portugale? Ilanit logxis kelkajn jarojn en Brazilo sed poste igxis inter la plej famaj kantistinoj de Israelo. Mi ne trovas sxian portugal-lingvan cxe reto sed k.d. ekzistas. Sxia onklo, Nahxum Drezner, estis Prezidanto de Esperanto Ligo de Israelo antau' pli ol 40 jaroj, sed ne sukcesis konvinki sxin kanti esperante. Jen la unua kanto kiun mi au'dis de sxi, jun-agxe (Dum kelkaj jaroj sxi kantis kun edzo, Ilan):

On the 12th of April, 2011, in a New York festivity, the republication of the English translation of the Esperanto piece, Masquerade, of Tivadar Soros (father of George) was lanuched. This literary work deals with the successful survival of the Soros Family in Budapest during the systemic persecution and killing of Hungarian Jews by the hands of the Nazis in the final years of the Second World War.
This party, in the home of the financier, George Soros, son of Tivadar, brought together groups of outstanding intellectuals of the region; among others were the head editor of the New York Review of Books, representatives of the New York Times, several literary talents, and the known television commentarian, Bill Moyers. Specialists on Esperanto, Prof. Esther Schor and author Arika Okrent were present.

Post monato (morgau' dum redaktado) estos programo por instruistoj pri la Holokau'sto (Historio ktp) cxe UNO (detaloj plej malsupre). Mi volas akiri au' produkti artikolon unu (au du) pagxan pri "The Holocaust and the Esperanto Movement"/Holokau'sto kaj la Esperanto Movado" au' "The Holocaust and Jewish Esperanto Speakers"(Holokaus'to kaj Esperanto Parolantoj) por disdoni tie. Mi kolektis kelkajn utilajn ligilojn. Mankas al mi la ligilo de la nova Zamenhof-muzeo en Bjalistoko (mi sercxis plurajn minutojn). Dum UK-Bialistoko oni informis min ke antau' Dua Mond-milito cxirkau' 300 esperantistoj renkontigxis cxirkau' la urbo, sed post la Holokau'sto nur 3 estis post-vivantaj au' troveblaj. Oni konkludas ke la granda pliparto de la tieaj esperantistoj estis judoj. Mi bonvenigas iom pli da detaloj pri tiu. Cxu jam ekzistas tia artikolo au' iu simila cxe la reto?
