American Jews, like any other group, resist easy classification and generalizations. They are fragmented by differences of class and religion, geography and background, education and lifestyle. In many ways, an Orthodox Jew may inhabit a world apart from a Reform Jew; a Jew from Germany may have less in common with a Jew from Eastern Europe than with non-Jews. Yet Jews are united on many issues. Fundamental is education. No other ethnic group sends so many of its sons and daughters to college. While only one-fourth of the general population that is 25 or older has had some...
...With an occasional hand from an eccentric French blimp captain, these two run Junior to ground-rather strange ground too.

But in his later work Auden is no longer interested in defining that duty, or even in dramatically exhorting anyone to perform it. He is content to inhabit the realm of "common-sense" and its unrevolutionary complement, "tall stories...
...environment. Instead, the setting seems more suited to Pinter's Birthday Party than a play set in New England in 1974. Without being insistent or exclusive, Horowitz addresses himself to some peculiarly American obsessions and drives in Alfred the Great and it is important that the environment his characters inhabit reflects this...
