A Foe of Injustice (New York Sun)
Jack Newfield, Crusading Columnist (The Jewish Week)

Jack Newfield here, from the land beyond, beyond:

John sure does me proud, “And so he wrote, passionately, powerfully and with a faith in the potential of a word well chosen to change the world.” Oh, I feel so good, that’s tikkune.

Well, I’ve got to go and try to find Bobby.

Ufot:

Let’s see, I ask for gush and Feingold and I get gush and Feingold. I recall tikkun and Said’s eulogy and I get tikkun and Newfield’s eulogy. Newfield has his Bobby Kennedy and John has his Russ Feingold. Newfield’s as brainwashed as Feingold. The next thing you know it’s going to rain frogs.

John Nichols:

A UW girl’s gone and got herself arrested for filming Israeli soldiers beating up a Palestinian. Should I write about her on the 30th or the refuseniks like I did last year? I’ll have to talk it over with Ufot.
