THE WAR’S IMPACT

Dr. Ruth in Israel: Sexologist Dr. Ruth Westheimer is the latest personality to pay a solidarity visit to Israel. “I came to stand up and be counted, not to talk about my favorite subject,” Dr. Ruth said in Jerusalem Tuesday. “But if you ask about the sealed rooms (against Scud attacks), if the relationship is good, this won’t hurt it, but it won’t ameliorate a bad relationship.” After surviving the Holocaust, Dr. Ruth immigrated to Israel--where she lived for six years--before moving to New York. She is scheduled to be in the war zone for a week, and planned to leave Sunday. “If I had a magic wand, I would solve the entire region’s problems,” she said. “But even a sex therapist can’t do everything.”
