...title is pretentious and a trifle intimidating. Intellectual Digest, moreover, sounds like a contradiction in terms; scholarly writing is almost by definition lengthy and leisured. Yet Editor Martin Goldman has managed in only one year to make the concept work. The monthly mixture of excerpted articles and books, commissioned artwork and original offbeat interviews has doubled in circulation to 400,000 and is approaching the black-ink border...

This week, for example, Financier Gus Levy of Goldman, Sachs & Co. in New York City will be host at a luncheon and dinner for 100 big contributors...

Goldman marks the Sabbath of Passover Week with his civil rights-oriented "Freedom Sabbath," which is attended by representatives of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and of the N.A.A.C.P., labor organizers and Protestant ministers. In Miami Beach, the ads for a kosher hotel promise not only an olympic-size saltwater swimming pool, but also "Passover Specials" in room rates and a cantor and choir for Seder services. In Connecticut, a self-proclaimed congregation of Jewish humanists fashions a Passover Haggadah (the Seder narrative) that manages to avoid any mention...
