Abstract

JEWS and paper. Virtually inseparable. Think of your non‐Jewish friends. Some have lots of paper around and some don't. Now think of your Jewish friends —newspapers, books, files, piles, magazines, cartons of unidentified scraps, back issues, memorabilia. The front page of The New York Times when F.D.R. was reelected. Immigration papers. Paid‐up donor luncheon programs. Brooklyn Dodger yearbooks. Uncle Harry's letters from the old country. Aunt Tillie's letters from west of the Hudson. Jews are not merely the people of the book, but of the magazine and newspaper, too, as the Jewish community continually strives to deal with diversity and change within the context of unity and continuity. Often it seems there are as many Jewish publications as there are Jewish opinions which—as we all know—exceeds the number of Jews.
