Excerpt:
Perhaps it is a coincidence that it happened to be The Jewish Press that caught the attention of security officials at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York on Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 5, but that fact certainly caught the attention of The Jewish Press reporters.
Phyllis Chesler, one of the doyennes of the feminist movement, professor emerita of psychology and women's studies at CUNY, ardent Zionist, and author, most recently of An American Bride in Kabul, which won the National Jewish Book Award for memoir this year, was traveling from New York to Florida Wednesday afternoon.
Chesler's flight was delayed due to the ice storm. Still, she felt somewhat lucky, as most of the flights were cancelled.
