...issues. They imposed the death penalty, it seems, on practical grounds, as if King's execution were an urgency of public health, like disposing of an incurable case of rabies. If sentenced to life, King would probably kill someone else in jail, the prosecution reasoned--another black, or a Jew perhaps, so lively and irrepressible boils his hate. He displays no shadow of remorse, and even in the Jasper jail, awaiting trial, he managed to get hold of an 8-in. knife. The jury did not find it hard to conclude that, among other reasons to execute...

Rather, I felt that I, as an Italian and African-American Catholic, had been included in the Jewish community, not ephemerally, but permanently--not in spite of my own background, but because of it. Cultural isolation is often defended with the cliche that there is "safety in numbers." Perhaps the Boston Jewish Film Festival demonstrated that those numbers need not be limited to a certain ethnic group, and as we being to call ourselves members of a plurality of cultures, perhaps...
