By all means keep it!<br/><br/>The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia was produced
with an agenda - that Jews were very much part of America's history. Remember,
there was considerable anti-Semitism in the U S during the 1930s (both genteel
and guttersnipe), and the UJE was intended to boost Jewish
self-esteem.<br/><br/>There are articles on important Jewish Americans
completely overlooked by the EJ. (After all, the explicit agenda of the EJ was
Zionist.)<br/><br/>Keep it! It makes great reading. (I personally think
editorial standards were higher back then.)<br/><br/>Phil Miller<br/>Emeritus
