Tom, Julius has a new book out on Jewish art, and publisher's weekly said it
read like a hastily put together lawyer's brief...which in my opinion is also
true of his first book. If what he's saying doesn't make sense to you, why
not file it away as exactly that? I thought a lot of the things he said
didn't make sense. Some people make more sense than others.

If it's of this much concern to you, maybe you'd better read the book.
