PARTISAN REVIEW
Ronnie says nothing.
"And let me tell you another. thing," says Martha, "you
Jews are not doing yourselves any favor by putting yourselves
forward so much.
If
Felix Frankfurter is so smart as he's sup–
posed to be, he knows that especially just now there's no place for
another Jew on the Supreme Court bench. Every Jew that gets on
the Supreme Court makes it just so much harder for us and Mar–
cia. Where do you think I'm going to be able to send her to
college?"
"That's a fine way of looking at it!" cries Ronnie. "It's true
~nough,"
he thinks; but Martha has always been ahead of him on
national and international affairs.
"You're a Jew, so all right!" says Mrs. Ronnie Morris nee de
Havilland. "It's nothing to be ashamed of. But why bring it up
in public? Who asks you?"
"Who?" says Ronnie bewildered.
"But trust a Jew to put himself forward as if he were some–
thing peculiar!
If
it weren't for the Jews there wouldn't be any
anti-semitism."
"Who?" asks Ronnie.
