Indeed, so extensive is this anti-Jewish policy that it is not at all certain that Jews today are better off than in czarist times, except materially.

Unable to ship in supplies, they have for months virtually had to do without the protein-rich dried fish, beef and milk that before the war they bought outside the region.

We have made no progress except the withdrawl of Lyndon Johnson. Instead we have Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey. There is no solution in sight. The War could be stopped if one hundred million Americans stood and said: let's stop it. More than half the American people think it is a mistake, but they don't have the initiative or energy to stand up and do something. Let's do something before...
