MY BROTHER’S IN TOWN, and blogging will be light this weekend. But I want to be sure to recommend Ron Rosenbaum’s new book, Those Who Forget the Past: The Question of Anti-Semitism, a collection of essays and excerpts from all sorts of people including David Brooks, Frank Rich, Barbara Amiel, Larry Summers, Nat Hentoff, et al. My copy showed up in yesterday’s mail, and it was immediately seized by the Insta-Wife (this happens often) but she pronounces it excellent, and it looks that way to me, too, based on what I could tell before she got hold of it.

I also notice that the book includes a chapter by Laurie Zoloth on the anti-semitic riot at San Francisco State University, which I wrote about here a couple of years ago. There seems little question to me that anti-semitism is undergoing a major revival, and I’m glad that this book is addressing it.
