...rest of society. As examples of this he cites Jewish opposition to inclusion of a question about religion on the U.S. census and the lack of public Jewish support for the Catholic position in the Hildy McCoy adoption case (TIME, April 1 et seq.). "Too often . . . the question Is es gut far Iden? (How will it affect the Jews?) seems to determine official Jewish action on public issues...

Kazan takes time to inspect such scenic wonders of TV as the reason-why-sell, the inverse commercial, the collective think, the built-in crowd. He also provides some hilarious examples of TV shoptalk ("Great show. J.B." "Ye-e-es, I think it had size"). And all the while he is sinking the oyster knife into his victim, who loves nothing in the world so much as power-above all the power to make people crawl...
