Even in the great universities of our country, where reason should be sovereign, there are occasional flashes of racial, religious, and ethnic conflict. The very title of this volume-&dquo;The Tenacity of Prejudice&dquo;-assures its relevancy to our immediate needs. Anti-Semitism is its jumping-off place, but it sets anti-Semitism in its larger framework of human prejudice. It claims to be &dquo;the first intensive analysis of prejudice that is nationwide in scope.&dquo; Its authors, trained social scientists using the modern techniques of social investigations, and eager to ascertain the basic truths needed for a democratic and pluralistic society such as the United States hopes to be, have come to this solid conclusion: &dquo;The anti-Semite tends to be intolerant of a wide range of social and cultural differences, and for much the same reasons that he is intolerant of Jews.&dquo; In a word, anti-Semitism is not merely a Jewish problem; it is a human problem. Because The Tenacity of Prejudice is part of a series, summarization of this volume is not an easy task. This book is the fourth volume in the Patterns of American Prejudice Series sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, and conducted by the Survey Research Center of the University of California at Berkeley. Thus, its scientific objective spirit is most reliable. Its statistics, in Appendix A: Interview Schedule, and Appendix B: Responses of Jewish Respondents, are clearly arranged and explained in the final 36 pages of the book. Thus, its information is factual and reliable. The three divisions of the volume deal with the &dquo;Extent,&dquo; &dquo;Locus,&dquo; and &dquo;Explanation&dquo; of anti-Semitic beliefs, discriminations, and prejudice in American society today. Chapter 10, entitled &dquo;Conclusion,&dquo; begins with this sentence: &dquo;Two basic conclusions emerge from this study: antiSemitism continues at significant levels, and lack of education is the primary factor in its acceptance. The rest of the chapter makes explicit the implications, positive and negative, of the findings of this study.&dquo; Though in lesser degree, anti-Semitism is still to be found in American society, in

So understood, federalism does not seek to restore some elusive balance between the states and the federal government or to reinvest sovereign states with the glory they may have possessed in Andrew Jackson's days.
