Summary:Sir, - I do not understand why Kadima is celebrating ("Kadima, Likud both claim victory and race to form rival coalitions," February 11). The party lost at least one seat in the Knesset - down from 29 in the election two years ago - while the Likud succeeded in doubling its vote to one seat short of Kadima's "great victory." Sir, - I don't want to prolong the debate with [David Teich] about why he could not find work in Israel. But his ad hominem attack ("Job fill = skill kill," Letters, February 9) calling the people who wrote about him "undereducated" and implying that they would "take [any job] at all" demands a response. Sir, - I commend David Geffen on his outstanding ("'This protection they shall have,'" February 10) on Abraham Lincoln and the Jews and call your readers' attention to a superb and most comprehensive collection of Lincolniana on the second level in the main reading room of the National Library in Jerusalem. It was donated some years ago by an American collector of books on Lincoln.
