The Creme
Of the Elite

ARTHUR J. MAGIDA

Special to The Jewish News

F

irst, there was "CW"
— conventional
wisdom. Then, there
was "PC" — politically cor-
rect. Now, thanks to the
Murphy Brown-Danny
Quayle fracas, there's "CE"
— the cultural elite, those
movers and shakers in the
media who package, pro-
duce, write, photograph or
videotape what passes for
popular culture in our socie-
ty.
And at last, thanks to a list
in Newsweek, we finally
know who tops the CE. The
roll call of the lucky 100 in-
cludes such media magnates
as Madonna, Bill Cosby and
Spike Lee and writers such
as Toni Morrison and
William Buckley Jr. It also
includes what Newsweek
calls "a disproportionate
number of Jews" — a full 27
percent that includes film
auteur Woody Allen, TV
journalist Ted Koppel -,
Disney executives Michael
Eisner and Jeffrey
Katzenberg, publishing czar
S.I. Newhouse, writer Susan
Sontag and zillionaire record
producer David Geffen.
As the newsmagazine
notes, "the citadels of the CE
that Quayle identifies —
Hollywood, the press, top
universities" include Jews
far our of proportion to their
numbers in the general
population. "From McCar-
thyism to Nixon's crack on
the Watergate tapes . . . to
the constant rumblings on
the far right and the far left

Woody Allen:
In good company.

about the 'Jewish-dominated
media,' resentment against
the cultural elite has often
boiled down to simple anti-
Semitism, though Quayle's
Jewish speechwriters could
hardly have meant it that
way.
"In truth, " observes
Newsweek, "when Jewish
bosses really ran Hollywood,
the movies were full of tradi-
tional values. Nowadays,
there are large numbers of
Jews . . . at all levels of the
cultural elite. But at the top,
power is fragmented and in-
creasingly shared not just
with Christians but with
owners back in Japan. The
pointlessness of the whole
argument is conveyed by the
fact that the only network
owned by a Jew — CBS — is
also the only the network
under the most fire (for a '60
Minutes' story) from sup-
porters of Israel."

Anti-Bush Moment,

Pro-Clinton Jews

In a rather pro-Clinton
assessment of how Jews will
vote on election day, David
Twersky writes in the New
Republic that, "with Clinton
surging in the polls, Jews
have every reason to stay
put — or, if they were among
those who gravitated for
Bush in '88, to gravitate
back.
"Clinton," writes Mr.
.Twersky, Washington bu-
reau chief of the national
Jewish weekly, The For-
ward, "not only has a strong-
ly pro-Israel party platform
committed to the peace pro-
cess and the indivisibility of
Jerusalem, but he is

reaching out to party
centrists and Reagan
Democrats who've been
fighting the party's left over
the past two decades, with
diminishing success . . ."
Mr. Twersky expects no
more than 20 percent of
Jews to vote for George
Bush, down from one-third
in 1988.
The reasons Mr. Bush is
faring badly: Jews' an-
noyance over the president's
original opposition to assur-
ing Israel $10 billion in loan
guarantees, his "embrace"
of the Christian right and
his opposition to abortion.
And why is Mr. Clinton
