PLAIN TALK
MR.. HILLEL'S NAME
BY Alfred Segal

Mr.. Hillel (FIillel Widget Corp.)
on the street. Most of my previ-
Gus encounters with him have
been at my desk. There he comes
whenever he gets tired of widgets
and asks to write this column for
me for the recreation of his soul.
Widgets get to be an insufferable
load on MIR. F1illel's essential
being. especially when he has a
multi-million dollar order to pro-
duce and more and more of them.
When I met Mr.. Hillel on the
street. first thing said was how's
widgets +. ''Why do you have to
mention widgets?" he asked irrit-
ably. Didn't you notice mellow
1 was walking along deep in
thoughts more pleasant than wild
gets?"
Indeed. Mr.. FIillel had looked to
me like a philosopher walking
apart from all others on the busy
thoroughfare.~. He was walking
with leisurelY step. his hands
elapsed on his back. his head
bowed.
"And you, Segal, ask me how
widgets are going" he protested.
But he answered my question
about widgets, anyway, since,
first of all, Mr.. Hillel is a most
courteous gentleman. He said he
was working on a many million
dollar project to make widgets for
atom bombs.
What can a widget do for an
atom bomb?"I asked him. He re-
piled that a widget in an atom
bomb causes the bomb to sound
much louder when it explodes.

sand miles away.
Mr.. Hillel didn't like the idea
of being an assistant to help make
more noise in the world, but he
added: 81 guess I must be realistic
enough to understand the world
as it is, not as I would like to have
it. Yes, my friend, our enemies
understand only the sound of
power and I'm glad to be in a po-
sition to help make bigger sounds.
But LET'S forget that for the
moment. What I was really think
ing about when you met me was
my name-F1illel. You know.
Segal. it's most significant name
and a heavy responsibility on a
man who carries it,
Mr.. Hillel recalled modestly
enough that the original Hillel
whose name he has was the great
rabbi who lived even before the
CnrlStlan era.

Hillel went on. THE time the
heather came TO the rabbi and
announced he would embrace Ju-
daism provided F1illel could tell
him all of Torah while he (the

foot.
Then it was that my namesake
said most famous thing. He an
swered the heather: DO not unto
your neighbor what you would
not have him do unto you; this is
the whole Law, the rest is COM
