Sephardic Background
In "The Grandees: America's
Sephardle Elite," Stephen Birm-
ingham, author of the best-seller
. "Our Crowd," turns to the ances-
try and history of the American
Sephardim—a small elite group
who considered themselves the
"nobility Of Jewry." It will be pub-
lished March 17 by Harper & Now.
"The old Sephardic families con-
tinue to compose a tight-knit,
proud, and aristocratic elite who
know who is 'one of us' and who is
- not," Binninghetn writes. 'They
lead lives of -wealth, exclusivity,
privacy, a privacy so deep and so

Search for Rescue," also a Source .
Book, reveals his historic sense,
his approach to world issues, his
psychological analyses.
In this extensive outline of
major occurrences in the world
he deals with every conceivable
problem. The development of
human approaches receives at-
tention in every sphere, among
all peoples and all faiths, and in
his religious references he is
deeply moved by ethical needs
and the obstacles to higher goals.
Thus, whether he deals with the
problem of slavery that still exists
in Arab lands or with the nuclear
threats, he is the thorough student,
the well informed educator.
Nuclear war and the alternatives
are touched upon, degeneration of
sex Is deplored, there are expres-
sions of "deep distress" over is-
sues that affect all areas, that in-
volve social and ethnic as well as
political and religious problems.
Dr. Scimeid's book is thought-
provoking and provides reasoning
toward facing the issues that dis-
turb man in a world of change and
frightening transformations. —P.S.
