megalomaniac DarrinT68

How true. I moved out of NY a few years ago and I have to travel 45 minutes to get a "real" pastrami sandwich. The meat is piled so high it's hard to finish a whole one, and if you do, you don't need to eat dinner.

city in the world. Metropolis,

Yep. Best Italian food you'll ever find is in NYC. Best everything, actually.

Ah, the sausage and peppers at the feast are the BEST.

We have Chinese restaurants here that advertise "New York Style" Chinese food. Heh. Same with the pizza places.

"Harry Potter" says of this Midtown Italian. "Each time she brought a different course, she acted out the dishes, singing the praises of each

type of food." Briana may have been offering a special service, since this is not one of those Broadway-area restaurants that advertises its

singing waiters. But she certainly made an impression. "She put on a great show," says the 14-year-old Radcliffe. "On top of that, I had the

best-tasting 16-ounce steak." - DANIEL RADCLIFFE, British actor, star of Harry Potter, as told to Neil Rosen's "My Favorite Place," NY Post, May 29th,2004).."Yes, I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of the right honorable gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine were

JACKSON, Columbia University Professor, Encyclopedia of New York".."New York is simply a distillation of the United States, the most of everything, the conclusive proof that there is an American civilization. New York is casual, intellectual, subtle, effective, and devastatingly witty. But her sophisticated appearance is the thinnest of veneers. Beneath it there is power, virility, determination and sense of destiny" - RAYMOND F. LOEWY, 1964.."New York is the only real city-city" - TRUMAN CAPOTE.."You know, the more they knock New York, the bigger it gets!" - WILL ROGERS.."One of the great mysteries that has always puzzled me is how Jews, who account for such a tiny fraction of the world's population, have been able to achieve so much and excel in so many different fields - science, music, medicine, literature, arts, business and more. If you listed the most influential people of the last hundred years, three at the top of the list would be Einstein, Freud and Marx; all were Jews. Many more belong on the list, yet Jews comprise at most less than 3 percent of the United States population. They are an amazing people. Imagine the persecution they endured over the centuries: pogroms, temple burnings, Cossack raids, uprootings of families, their dispersal to the winds and the Holocaust. After the Diaspora, they could not own land or worship in much of the world; they

were prohibited from voting and were told where to live. Yet their children survived and Jews became by far the most accomplished people per capita that the world has ever produced" - MARLON BRANDO (excerpt from "SONGS MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME").."Jews are unique in that for eighteen-hundred years they have had no country...and have, whenever there was any pretense of equality of opportunity for them, forged their way ahead into positions of prominence, influence and power in business, professions, in philosophy, in art, in literature, and in government. The harshest persecution and injustice merely strengthen the peculiarity of the Jew in the adherence to his ancient customs. Give him the sunlight of freedom and the balmy encouragement of equality of opportunity and he buttimilates himself to his environment with all the quickness of perception, all the energy, all the enterprise, all the persistence with which he is so remarkably endowed"

- WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT (27th US President, 1909-1913).."If you take almost anything - science, law, philosophy, literature, medicine, music

- and track it back to its roots, you will find Jews there, or at least

meet an awful lot of them along the way" - PAUL JOHNSON (contemporary US historian, "History of the Jews").."The modern United States, in spite of itself, IS the United States in part because of its Jewish blood" - JOE MCCAIN (author, lecturer, historian, brother of Senator John McCain - "The Jews Will Not Go Quietly Again!").."Certainly, the world without the Jews would have been a radically different place. Humanity might have eventually stumbled upon all the Jewish insights. But we cannot be sure. All the great conceptual discoveries of the human intellect seem obvious and inescapable once they had been revealed, but it requires a special genius to formulate them for the first time. The Jews had this gift. To them we owe the idea of equality

before the law, both divine and human; of the sancbreasty of life and the dignity of human person; of the individual conscience and so a personal

redemption; of collective conscience and so of social responsibility; of peace as an abstract ideal and love as the foundation of justice, and many other items which consbreastute the basic moral furniture of the human mind. Without Jews it might have been a much emptier place." - PAUL JOHNSON (contemporary US Historian, "A History of Jews & A History

of Christianity").."Western civilization is undeniably a 'Jewified' civilization, however offensive the word may be to our ears because of the ugly use made of it by anti-Semites - anti-Semites believed that Jews were everywhere, and in a sense they were almost everywhere that counted in modern society." - ALBERT LINDEMANN in Esau's Tears: Modern anti-Semitism and the Rise of the Jews.."Here is a great body of our Jewish citizens from whom have sprung men of genius in every walk of our varied life; men who have conceived of its ideals with singular clearness; and led enterprises with sprit & sagacity...They are not Jews in America, they are American citizens" - WOODROW WILSON (28th US President, 1913-1921).."If statistics are right, the Jews consbreastute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky way. Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He

is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages; and had done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone. Other peoples

have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out,

and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pbutt, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?" - MARK TWAIN.."The first love symbol in movie history was Jewish" - THEDA BARA (b. Goodman).."The star of the "first" talkie was Jewish" - AL JOLSON (b. Yoelson).."The first theatre

to be used solely for the showing of motion pictures was built by a Jew" - ADOLPH ZUCKER (Paramount)..."Thousands & thousands of details go

into the making of a film. It is the sum total of all these things that

either makes a great picture or destoys it" - DAVID O. SELZNICK (one of

the founding Jewish fathers of Hollywood -Paramount-RKO-MGM-Selznick International).."The first female president of a major Hollywood Studio

was Jewish" - SHERRY LANSING (Paramount).."At these colleges and others, Jews are valued for what sounds like a stereotype - that Jews are smarter, for instance. Yet the numbers proclaim something like that

to be the case. On the recent College Boards, Jews averaged 1161. Unitarians did somewhat better (1209), but the national average was 1020. At the elite Ivy League schools, Jews make up 23 percent of the student body. They are a measly 2 percent of the U.S. population".."Jewish students, by culture and by ability and by the very nature of their liveliness, make a university a much more habitable place in terms of intellectual life," Vanderbilt's chancellor, Gordon Gee, told the Wall Street Journal. "The very nature of their liveliness? Is this man out of his mind? Actually, no. Gee is speaking both a specific truth and a larger truth: Not all groups are the same" - RICHARD COHEN, Washington Post, "A Study In Differences".."It's anti-Semitic to point out that Jews are smarter than Gentiles? Gimme a break. Who doesn't know that Jews are smarter than Gentiles? Newsweek (8-21-00) gives the Jewish population of the U.S. at two percent. Does anybody think that the number of Jewish lawyers, college professors, successful businessmen, mathematicians, is

two percent? Anybody? How can it be offensive to say something so dazzlingly obvious? If I were Jewish, I'd be flattered to hear this. For the record, I consider myself a philosemite. It has been truly said

(by Paul Johnson in his History of the Jews) that if you take almost anything - science, law, philosophy, literature, medicine, music - and track it back to its roots, you will find Jews there, or at least meet an awful lot of them along the way. I am a big fan of Western Civilization: and I know - again, who doesn't know? - that the debt we Gentiles owe to the Jews is colossal, and can never be repaid. No doubt

I shall now get letters explaining to me that this opinion, too, is "anti-Semitic". Another thing you learn writing for the public is that anything whatsoever that you say about Jews or Jewishness is "anti-Semitic" to somebody out there" - JOHN DERBYSHIRE ("10 Things You

Can't Say In America" - National Review).."The Jew is the emblem of eternity. He who neither dissolution nor torture of thousands of years could destroy, he who neither fire, nor sword, nor Inquisition was able to wipe off the face of the earth. He who was the first to produce the Oracles of God. He who has been for so long the Guardian of Prophecy and has transmitted it to the rest of the world. Such a nation cannot be destroyed. The Jew is as everlasting as Eternity itself" - LEO TOLSTOY.."In New York, even if you're Catholic, you're Jewish. If you live in Butte, Montana, you're going to be Goyish, even if you're Jewish!" ehe - LENNY BRUCE (b. Leonard Alfred Schneider, umpteenth sweet, Jewish NYer).."The extraordinary European Jews who emigrated to New York were enriching the city's intellectual life with an intensity that has probably never been equaled anywhere during a comparable period of time. I was raised largely by these Jews... They were my teachers; they were my employers; they were my friends. They introduced me to a world of books and ideas that I didn't

know existed" - MARLON BRANDO (excerpt from "Songs My Mother Taught Me").."Today in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be regarded as bete noire the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!" eh - ALBERT EINSTEIN (Greatest Mind of The 20th Century).."Be wise, circumcise!".."To perfect the world (TIKUM OLAM) is in Jewish thought - the obligation of every human being.
