Wattenberg's 'Real America' Blasts Jewish Wealth Myth

urbanites into the calmer
suburbs. For the elderly,
and often defenseless, the
tragedy is compounded.
Many elderly Orthodox
Jews in New York no
longer go to late-
afternoon services be-
cause they must return
home after dark and fear
mugging, beating and
humiliation."
Discussing "Black Pro-
gress and Liberal Rhet-
oric." Wattenbere asks
how does "a group"—An
ethnic group, a religious
group, a racial group —
make "progress" and.adds
wisely: "Is 'progress' de-
fined as a situation when a
whole group is seen mov-
ing up and out of poverty
or when only a substantial
fraction moves up and out,
If the whole group must go
up and out, then even the
Jews haven't made it yet."
One of the reasons the
American Jewish Com-
mittee lobbies for high
Social Security rates is
because such a high prop-
ortion of elderly Jews are
still in poverty — despite
the generally acknow-
ledged success story of
American Jews. What is
true for the Jews is true
as well for the Irish and

If Ben Wattenberg did
not have a single other
fact to add in his latest
version of "The Real
America" he would be
hailed for having per-
formed a monumental
favor for truth and light
in pointing out rich
America does have poor
Jews who fear crime in
*he slums in which they
.ist and they require
like others in pov-
erty.
"The Real America,"
however, has myriad
facts beyond those on
Jews and is, as someone
has said, "a brilliant look
at the facts against the
myths of American life."
His bits about poor Jews
are especially essential
facts that should be
handy at the least to
every welfare worker to
quote directly to those
who think all Jews are
rich and powerful.
Writing on crime, Wat-
tenberg says: "triple-
padlocked doors, drug
addicts, muggings, rape,
shakedown of school
children for lunch money
are enough to drive many
of the best intentioned

the WASPs — much suc-
cess and some failure,
each chronicled in our lit-
erature, our politics and
our industry." -
Wattenberg has a pun-
gent footnote in discus-
sing a questionnaire on
women's liberation. Not-
ing that 74 percent of
American women think
that "having a loving
husband who is able to
take care of me is much
more important to me
than making it on my
own," Wattenberg points
out:
"These feelings do not
seem to be restricted to
American women.
"In Israel, a land where
sexual equality has long
been a well-established
and certainly well-
publicized doctrine, a sur-
vey team of Hebrew Uni-
versity sociologists found
that 75 percent of married
women from Jerusalem
and Tel Aviv responded af-
firmatively to this state-
ment: 'A good mother and
a good homemaker is a
woman's most noble goal.'
Which may prove what has
long been suspected:
American females are no-
thing but Jewish mothers
in station wagons."

Wattenberg, who has
written extensively on
demographic and politi-
cal matters, is one of
those few Washing-
tonians who goes behind
the prefab platitudes
concocted by publicity
people to fit a politician's
policy. A teacher and
business -consultant, he
has worked for President
Johnson and Senators
Hubert Humphrey and
Henry M. Jackson, and is
founder and co-chairman
of of the Coalition for a
Democratic Majority.
