User-Contributed Transcription P.S. I got at least one whack at Eric Hoffer! A philosopher he calls himself. A take-it-easy propagandist for the Establishment dont-rock-the-boat crowd. He praises Israel - makes fun of England. puts him in solid with where the money is - so he gets space in reactionary newspapers -aren't the all? Jew lady wrote in praising Hoffer - said Israel was needed as a place "where Jews could be always a majority." so we all want to live where we are a majority - the blacks, the Irish, the Scotch, the Anglo-Saxons, the Poles, the Greeks - on and on -- how you gonna arrange it? Have like stockyards separting [sic] each national group - ghettoes of progress. Hitler wanted such for Europe - only by cremation, not segregation. I'm ready to retire - sick of commuting daily 50-cent fare each way, but need a underlined: job so I can afford to retire. Can't live on retirement - and my heart keeps acting up - oh to be in those Blue Ridge hills! Best, Jack II in left margin Note from Judy - big things breaking for him soon, he says Always.
