Veteran pro Tom Watson, whose wife and children are Jewish, resigned from the Kansas City Country Club last year after it blackballed accounting mogul Henry Bloch, a Jew. Although the club changed its mind about Bloch, Watson did not rejoin. In a New York Times column last month, he decried the "hypocrisy" of admitting a single black to "integrate" and urged, "Let's discriminate right now, each one of us, privately, between what is right and what is wrong...
...focused attention on the pro-Nazi leanings of the beauty giant's founders. As a result, the U.S. Justice Department is weighing banishment from American soil for Jacques Correze, the honorary head of L'Oreal's U.S. affiliate, Cosmair. The turmoil began after Jean Frydman, a Jewish film mogul, decided to sell his share in Paravision, a L'Oreal-backed movie firm.

...Hedgewar's thoughts into a political juggernaut. Central to their political success is the promotion of Rama, the warrior god of the Hindu Ramayana epic, and a dilapidated 16th century mosque in the north Indian town of Ayodhya. The B.J.P. claims the site marks Rama's birthplace but that Mogul rulers destroyed a Hindu temple there and built a mosque in its place. There is no conclusive evidence of that claim, but as a point of Hindu self-esteem, the B.J.P. demands that the mosque be moved and a huge temple to Rama built on the spot. Muslims have resisted...
