...York City to discuss the split: "Some Jewish organizations and intellectuals who were previously identified with the aspirations of black Americans . . . became apologists for the racial status quo.

Brown denounced the senate as a "group of small-minded politicians," and Fonda accused them of "McCarthyism," a charge that was echoed by 200 other show-biz celebrities, including Jane's father Henry.
