I always enjoy Mr. Stein's writing and today's is no exception. However, I would like to point out that Charles Dickens was not the rabid anti-semite that Mr. Stein fears. He certainly wrote a very negative Jewish character in Oliver Twist, but he was criticized by the British Jewish community and in a subsequent novel, "Our Mutual Friend," created a noble jewish character as a form of penance.

p>Thank-you for your attention and give my regards to Mr. Stein. br> -- Brian Kottlowski /p> p> Thanks, Mr. Stein, for your article "American Miracle" in the American Spectator . You make a good point, and I suddenly realize that my political reading has been fairly empty of praise for the U.S. lately. At least the kind of praise that I agree with. br> -- Steve Mims br> Cupertino, California /p> p> What is even more of a miracle is the fact that most Americans believe that we can still do better. br> -- Leonard Sjoberg
