Mrs.Kitty Dukakis, wife of Gov. Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts, is on a two-week visit to Israel as a guest of the Israeli government. According to Shimshon Inbal, Consul General of Israel in Boston, Mrs. Dukakis, who is Jewish, had planned to visit Cuba but decided to go to Israel instead after Cuba supported the anti-Zionist resolution in the UN General Assembly last year. The Governor’s wife, a dancer and dance instructor at Lesley College here, will study the development of dance and culture in general in Israel. She will plant a tree in the Liberty Garden in Jerusalem, which is dedicated to the American bicentennial.
