...come, America concluded, for Jewish leaders "to decide among themselves precisely what they conceive to be the final objective of the Jewish community-in a word, what bargain they are willing to strike as one of the minorities in a pluralistic society. When court victories produce only a harvest of fear and distrust, will it all have been worthwhile?" "Threatening & Patronizing." Jewish leaders responded as if the Jesuits had suggested that this was a good time for a pogrom. "America performs a disservice in raising the spectre of anti-Semitism," said Rabbi Elmer Berger of the American Council for Judaism...

Early last year Khrushchev delivered a scorching assault against Podgorny for having blamed bad weather for poor corn yields ("The crop was pilfered, stolen, and yet you say weather prevented growing a good harvest?"). But by the time of the next harvest, Podgorny could report better news. With a smile, he told Khrushchev at the October congress that the Ukraine had doubled its sale of grain to the state, and had "honorably passed its examination." So had Podgorny. In April he was named...
