...problem is painfully clear in enrollment figures. Statewide, the Democratic lead of 196,000 six years ago has turned into a deficit of 53,000 in Philadelphia's Negro and Jewish wards, Republican enrollment used to run 20% at most. Now the G.O.P. commands up to 35% in these areas. In industrial centers, union chiefs are no longer able to dictate the political loyalties of 1,450,000 members...
...sixth-grade class to a Black Power rally in memory of Malcolm X did not unduly alarm N.Y.U. It considered Hatchett's writings on Afro-American culture and religion sound enough to outweigh that error. But apparently no one at N.Y.U. had read a rambling, hysterical attack upon Jewish domination of the schools that Hatchett had written for the journal of the city's African-American Teachers Association. He charged that "antiblack Jews" and "their power-starved imitators, the black Anglo-Saxons" (meaning subservient, "Uncle Tom" Negroes) had inflicted "misery, degradation, racism and cultural genocide daily against...

Hester insisted that Hatchett was "not prejudiced against Jews as an ethnic group" but was attacking the educational Establishment of the schools-an argument that Jewish groups thought too ingenuous...
Both films suffer from scriptwriters' inability to go beyond a simple extrapolation of the hippie into already familiar contexts: Alice B. Toklas might just as well be called Nichols and May Meet The Flower Children, its frame of reference entirely consisting of semi-improvised Jewish comedy prevalent in Neil Simon and lesser Feiffer. Runaways is structurally a simplistic morality play juggling black-and-white moral quantities with the vengeance of a true confessions magazine...
...humiliating, with a virtuoso performance unmatched in the 65-year history of the Series. For McLain, the contest was over quickly; uncharacteristically erratic, he walked three batters, gave up three hits and three runs, and retired to the showers after five innings. "I wish I were Jewish," he said glumly, reflecting on the fact that the game was being played on Yom Kippur. "Then I wouldn't have had to pitch today." Religion might have helped Denny. Nothing could have helped Detroit...
