like to. Not out of greed, which
I would certainly say I have,
but out of the fact I love to
work and came off a stint of
working constantly for 2 years
in a row with that guy Lou
Grant. So to suddenly be out of
work for one who's a work-
aholic was kind of earthshak-
ing. In terms of being formally
denied work, I don't think I
have been. What I fear is the
great job that was done on
structuring our minds and our
courage during the days of the
blacklist. I think far too many
producers and directors have
mindsets that they can be the
greatest liberal in the world,
but there's a little hook in
their brain that if they're con-
fronted with somebody that
might affect the gate (box
office) or might be attacked in
the press . . . An injudicious
moment thereby affects the
gate, (and) I think that with-
out their knowledge this
mindset has created the disin-
clination to use that per-
former.
"I think its applied in my
case.
"I'm sure its applied in
others.
"And I think that mindset
occurs in many, many walks of
American life, not just in the
performing arts. The best
example of that is a Pete
Hamill interview shortly after
I became embroiled in the El
Salvador controversy where
he quoted a producer who said
in a quote similar to this,
`Schmuck! In the middle of the
height of Reaganism, he's a
liberal!"'
Does Asner believe there is
a mini-blacklist operative in
this Day of Reagan? Asner
says, "If the blacklist exists,
its from a mindset in the
minds of each person who
practices it." .
Asner follows the New
Jewish Agenda's party line on
proposals to increase Arab-
Jewish dialogue. "There has
been such bloodiness for so
long, such vituperation for so
long, that any dialogue, any

potential climbing of the first
step to improving Arab-
Jewish relations must be em-
braced so warmly and so
thoroughly. One of the times
the JDL picketed me and raz-
zed me in the past is when I
went to hear at the Leo Baeck
Temple in Los Angeles, which
was one of the few places that
would have the dialogue
occurring between an Israeli
colonel and an Arab mayor.
(This was the April 1984 20-
city speaking tour of M.K.
Mordechai Bar-On and de-
posed Palestinian West Bank
Mayor Mohammed Milhelm.)
I had to support that as much
as I could. I understand that
Asner stressed that
he approved of the
many fronts on which
NJA has taken a
stand . .
some leading temples across
the country refused to have
such a dialogue. I can't con-
demn those temples too
strongly . . . I'm delighted that
New Jewish Agenda places
this first and foremost in its
goals, in its activities. It's also
certainly one of the reasons
why I so strongly support
them."
Asner also endorses the
NJA's attempts to rebuild the
bridges between the Jewish
and black communities. He
says some of the rules will first
have to be changed. "We can't
speak of black-Jewish rela-
tions on the one hand, and
condone slumlords on the
other," he explains.
Asner expressed hope his
presence at the NJA conven-
tion would help NJA to grow
"both in numbers and in influ-
ence." Asner stressed that he
approved of the many fronts on
which NJA has taken a stand,
including its strong anti-
apartheid statements and its
linkage with anti-nuclear
groups. Asner has been a
member of NJA for "two or
three years." At the time he
joined, he wondered, "Well,
will this get me in more hot
water?"
Perhaps the NJA member-
ship won't, but some of Asner's
other comments may. For
example, on Nicaragua: "I
have never seen more evi-
dence of the United States be-
having in a manner totally
contradictory to what I was
taught to believe in this coun-
try. And that is (as) a bully . . .
They're (the Administration)
now trying to blame the
deaths of six Americans in El
Salvador on Nicaraguan
interests. Now they don't tell
us how they know this, but
they're planting it in the press
so that . . . if some civilian in
Honduras comes along and
spritzes some Americans with
an Uzi then it will have to be a
Nicaraguan hit."
What does Asner see as his
goal? "Trying to find a way to
free people from their gov-
ernment. I don't mean in an
anarchic sense, but a govern-
ment to treat its people as
adults. To treat them as free.
To give them justice. I think
that generally speaking, gov-
ernments fail to do that."
Saturday evening, Asner
spoke before the assembled
delegates as part of a plenary
session featuring the lyrical
poetry of Rich and the
spellbinding delivery of
Meyer. Asner's speech was
probably the same one he
gives temples and ladies' au-
xiliaries across the country. It
was 95 percent schtick, pure
temple patter, including
ethnic jokes (which were
funny) told in dialect. How-
ever, not all of his audience
approved.
The evening was redeemed
when Rabbi Meyer told of sit-
ting in a Buenos Aires public
square, under the assembled
guns of the military, and read-
ing aloud messages of support
received from around the
world. All this after the
Buenos Aires Jewish commu-
nity spent $12,000 on ads in
the city's daily newspapers
disclaiming their connection
with the rabbi.
"One of the cables of support
we received and read was
signed Ed Asner," said Meyer,
turning to the table where
Asner and Rich was sitting.
Asner and Meyer had never
met before this afternoon.
Such magic moments can re-
deem even hours of rhetoric. If
anyone in the applauding
audience noticed, a reporter
temporarily lost his objectiv-
ity. Michael Drissman would
not be pleased. Dana Jackson
would probably be delighted.
