...together against racism and injustice. But the sense of outrage came through even more clearly in individual declarations. Defending the new black support for the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Rev. Wyatt Tee Walker of Harlem's Canaan Baptist Church said the Palestinians "are the niggers of the Mideast." Nathan Perlmutter, director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, called the black leaders' charges an "amalgam of half-truths, untruths and anti-Semitic nonsense." Howard Squadron, president of the American Jewish Congress, accused black leaders of attacking Jews "for the sake of reviving...

When they were used up, I changed my name again." He was George Burns when he met and, in 1926, married Gracie Allen, an Irish Catholic comedienne from San Francisco...
...Steinfels, the recent resistance to change has largely been due to the work of a busy group intellectuals known as neoconservatives. Steinfels, who is the executive editor of the Catholic biweekly Commonweal, does not see a neoconservative under every bed. He names only a dozen or so, including Sociologists Nathan Glazer and James Q. Wilson of Harvard and Seymour Martin Lipset of Stanford. But the book centers on three thinkers: Editor Irving Kristol, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Daniel Bell, author of The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism.
