...ricocheting from one involved and Machiavellian Italian to another and leaves him on the last page dazed, dazzled and without an apartment but wholly in love with Italy. Author Malamud's deft hand slips occasionally, as in The Lady of the Lake, an oddly unconvincing tale about a Jew who denies his Jewishness, and in Angel Levine, a heavily symbolic account of a Negro angel that is not as rewarding as the old Jewish joke on which it is based...
...blond Marlon Brando, with an Actor's Studio slur to his German accent, plays "the young, golden god of war"; Montgomery Clift is a tenement Jew persecuted in his barracks; Dean Martin portrays the Broadway high-liner who goodhumoredly admits his own cowardice. And in an example of sophisticated sex, May Britt takes the part of a German commander's homefront spouse--a sort of Berlin community bed-warmer with those "rest your head here, soldier" eyes and a half-mast evening gown leaving only the moral question to a man's imagination...
World Jewry has always kept an uneasy eye on Russia's erratic treatment of Jews. Some of the early leaders of Communism (Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Litvinoff and Kaganovich) were Jews, but Stalin later made Jewish "cosmopolitanism" a dangerous charge.

Full of their new power, the Istiqlal seemed bent on proving the accusations against them. "Those who conspire against the unity and security of the nation," rumbled the Istiqlal daily Al Alam, "as well as those who cooperated in the past with foreign hands know...
Christian attempts to proselyte Jews are not only futile, argues Niebuhr, but wrong, because the two faiths are "sufficiently alike for the Jew to find God more easily in terms of his own religious heritage than by subjecting himself to the hazards of guilt feeling involved in a conversion to a faith, which, whatever its excellencies, must appear to him as a symbol of an oppressive majority culture. Both Jews and Christians will have to accept the hazards of their historic symbols. These symbols may be the bearers of an unconditioned message to the faithful. But to those outside...
