...realize that Santa Claus is somehow derived from St. Nicholas, and it's true that no self-respecting Jew would ever romp around in that idiotic outfit and give away all that stuff for free. But as an American icon, he's much closer to Dom DeLuise than Pope John Paul II. Anybody with a head like Dean Jewett and a body like Dean Epps isn't my idea of a symbol of religious devotion...
...that's just the tame stuff. On any given morning, The Howard Stern Show might feature a game called Guess the Jew, in which callers try to pick the Semitic celebrity from a choice of three. Or a good-looking actress might show up in the studio and set off Stern's riotous hormones. (To Sally Kirkland: "I'm completely aroused by you . . . You wearin' underpants?")

...HASN'T JOHN ADAMS' OPERA THE DEATH OF KLINGHOFFER made the same sort of splash as the composer's earlier Nixon in China?

Gov. of New York Mario Cuomo compared the verdict of the Yankel Rosenbaum trial to the outcome of the Rodney King case and said he would order an investigation into "how the justice system functioned in this case...
...overruled. I'm also, although I'm a strong advocate of freedom of choice, a strong opponent of Clinton's making that a litmus test for a nomination to the Supreme Court. So, You know, my opinions come out unpredictable in many ways. I'm a strongly committed Jew and yet I support the right of holocaust deniers and of Nazis to spew their poison. I think of myself as a feminist and yet I think that women who make accusations of rape cannot hide behind anonymity, must have their names disclosed. You know, my views don't fit neatly...
