"... despite “diminishing [!] threats”), a reluctant peace policy (“Never Missing an Opportunity to Miss an Opportunity”), and finally, the domination of “a centralized, narrowminded, selfserving, and selfperpetuating security community.” Over the course of the book, however, Maoz's central arguments lose their robust explanatory power. Bordering on the obsessive, his unremitting criticism becomes entirely counterproductive, detract ..."

"Such discussion was led by Irving (Yitz) Greenberg, Aharon Lichtenstein, and the late Charles Liebman; the last two later settled in Israel. Yeshiva students and the contributors are very articulate, but those few years were probably the only time that they could have felt part of the great American campus.

"Their book does provide important details about the process of euthanasia. Beyond this, through the diary of one doctor, Hermann Voss, and through the letters to his wife written by another doctor, Friedrich Mennecke, it also provides a certain insight into the minds of the perpetrators.

"... and Annette Wieviorka's insightful study of Jewish identity in the first accounts of Holocaust survivors in France. On the whole, however, the collection is an uneven effort that suffers from the lack of a clearly articulated unifying theme. The volume would have benefited greatly from a foreword or an afterword that explained the reasons for and the major components of the present-day search for an intellectually consistent an ..."

"It is enough to think of such personalities, Jews and non-Jews, as the composer Gyorgy Kurtag, the pianist Zoltan Kocsis, the conductor Albert Simon or, among the composers of the younger generation, Zoltan Jeney and Gyula Csapo. Jews, who are still a vital force in this culture, feel as they did sixty years ago that this " secularly spiritual" life is fully theirs. And while it is hard to predict how lasting such a situation will b ..."

"Before gay liberation, gay men were usually perceived as failed men--"inverts," men trapped in women's bodies. The 1970s saw a radical shift in gay male culture, as a male homosexuality emerged that embraced a more traditional masculine ethos. The gay clone, a muscle-bound, sexually free, hard-living Marlboro man, appeared in the gay enclaves of major cities, changing forever the face of gay male culture. Gay Macho presents the ethnogr ..."
