Also familiar is the debatable thesis that there are no snobs in foxholes, or even in barracks on the first day of basic training. Immediate buddyhood is established among Sal Mineo, a jivey cat from Manhattan...
Another attitude the Jewish student may have toward Christian or agnostic ideas he meets for the first time in his reading or his philosophy course was noted by Harry A. Wolfson, Nathan Littauer Professor of Hebrew Literature and Philosophy, Emeritus. "Because the Jew doesn't have the background, he is made curious.
