...grew up in Kansas, so I definitely felt a little ostracized, a little independent as far as that goes, being a Jew in Kansas, there weren't that many in the town I was in. But my upbringing was probably more like the Freitag family in this play in that I was raised with Christmas. The line "Jewish Christmas trees don't have stars," which is one of the first lines in this play, is literally right out of my upbringing. So, I'll do this play, my parents will come see it, and we'll all feel absolutely hypocritical...

While this is slightly less than the percentage of Jews in the national population, the College's population is estimated at 15 to 20 percent Jewish at the least. The Crimson aspires...
Certainly being a Jew does not lead to any particular set of opinions. This point is well-illustrated by the recent documentary film, "Arguing the World: The New York Jewish Intellectuals," thoughtfully mentioned in Suleiman's March 9 column and reviewed in the March 13 Arts section. "Arguing the World" focuses on the lives and intellectual development of four New York-born Jewish intellectuals, all from working class backgrounds, who attended City College in the 1930s--the late Social Democrat Irving Howe, centrists Daniel Bell and Nathan Glazer and neo-conservative Irving Kristol...
