...filled with almost 30 protesters. The interlopers, members of Frankfurt's Jewish community, unfurled a banner reading SUBSIDIZED ANTI- SEMITISM and announced that they would not allow the play to go on. They remained onstage for nearly three hours, engaging the audience in a spirited discussion of what some critics call the "garbage play." The protesters argued that staging the play, whose main character is an unscrupulous real estate speculator identified as "A., the Rich Jew," will revive anti-Jewish feelings in the country. Director Gunther Ruhle insisted that Fassbinder, a * well-known moviemaker, only intended to criticize modern anti...
Friends fondly describe Modigliani, who emigrated from Italy in 1938 to escape anti-Jewish persecution, as a man filled with energy and enthusiasm. An indifferent dresser who fits the mold of the absentminded professor, Modigliani is known for grasping complex issues with amazing speed. For relaxation he turns to sailing, skiing and tennis, but his mind is never far from economics. He once developed an idea for a paper during a fierce tennis match against Samuelson...
Farrakhan is a demagogue, though not much of one. Compared with North Carolina's Senator Bob Reynolds, who in 1939 likened the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia to the American pioneer spirit, Farrakhan is rational.

Three blacks, one Asian and one Jew were among potential jurors but were eliminated. Potential jurors were asked if they were Jewish, or had sympathies for anti- black, anti-Jewish or tax-protest groups. They were also asked if they could be fair to defendants who may not believe the Holocaust occurred. The Government hopes the trial will bring to fruition its fight against radical neo-Nazi hate groups. The drive was launched last year when authorities uncovered...
...crucial one for the Jewish community, and transcends partisan considerations. For we Jews are not just a minority in this country, we are a minority with a history. We suffered greatly in our wanderings across the globe. We were subject to continuous exile, religious conversion, economic appropriations, legal persecutions, anti-Jewish riots and genocide. These were the hazards faced by our people as they traveled the world. But they are hazards that are utterly absent from the American landscape. The reason is the principle of separation. In all other countries, there was a state religion. Here, there is none. This...
