Rather, it was a tragic error of the later Christian church to derive an anti-Semitic attitude from Jewish involvement in the case of Jesus of Nazareth. The church forgot that the prosecution was acting in absolute good faith, that even so it represented only a small fraction of the Jewish populace, and that responsibility for its role is not transferable. Indeed, to be anti-Semitic because of Good Friday is as ridiculous as hating Italians because a few of their forebears once threw Christians to the lions...
...series, Passant serves in a philosophical role (familiar in conventional success stories) as "the better man" whom the hero admired in youth and never quite outgrew or forgot. At the cost of his own career Passant helped struggling young people around him (including Eliot), saving them from stagnation by creating an intellectual coterie. He also preached freedom and self-expression-against the narrow restraints of provincial England in the late 1920s.

Present for Takeoff. Nixon made a few minor fluffs during his unrehearsed half-hour stand-up performance at the Shoreham. He forgot to name Maurice Stans as he introduced his Secretary of Commerce, and he referred to President Kennedy's "first inaugural"; there was, of course, only one.

Usually, it is, if anything, overly concerned about European sensibilities. But this time, the West Germans inexplicably forgot their manners. A main offender was Conrad Ahlers, the former Der Spiegel newsmagazine editor who now is the Federal Republic's deputy spokesman. During the Bonn meeting of the world's financial authorities two weeks ago, Ahlers offered injudicious portrayals of some of the Western representatives' behavior behind...
...Someone forgot to tell Producer-Director Harold Prince that Zorba isn't Jewish. Prince could not resist the temptation to try to fashion a sequel to his own Fiddler on the Roof, thinly camouflaged with a Greek accent. The resulting musical play is sleek, professional and synthetic, a brassy bit of Broad-wayana that is as far from the Mediterranean basin as is Shubert Alley...
