Alan M. Dershowitz, professor of Law at Harvard and author of a brief on behalf of the American Jewish Committee and several other ethnic organizations, said last week he supports affirmative action programs, but that "it's wrong to exclude disadvantaged whites" from such programs...
Unfortunately, the ethnic strain runs out elsewhere in the Square. Jonathan Swifts' boasts Guiness stout on tap which obviously merits a few brownie points from the IRA, but there's something wrong. Maybe it's the music--no bagpipes--or the bartenders--too many straight noses and not enough freckles in that crowd.

Typical is Mike Thompson, the publicist for Anita Bryant's successful campaign against the homosexual antidiscrimination ordinance in Dade County. On the basis of overlapping economic and life-style issues, he is putting together what he hopes will be a "new majority" of Republicans, blue-collar Democrats and Jewish voters. "We will bring together people who have never been politically involved before," he says, "and they will go on to work together for other issues and candidates...
