Smug NYC Jewish journalists are a dime a dozen. Is Victor Navasky still insisting Ethyl and Julius Rosenberg are innocent over at The Nation?!
I let my subscription to The New Yorker lapse because I got tired of those long rags-to-riches profiles of Jewish overachievers. Every one of them was a first or second generation "Holocaust survivor" or had a grandparent who arrived on Ellis Island fleeing the pogroms in Upper Starvania. They came with ten cents in their pocket and started billion dollar button businesses in Brooklyn basements where they lived on cardboard cut outs of sesame bagels smeared with library paste until they could afford to put all of their children, including the pets, through the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard and move on to Miami.
