Anti-Semitism becomes trivialized, like an academic position one might take. Do we refrain from discussing the racism of D.W. Griffith's _Birth of a Nation_ or the anti-Semitism of a film like _Der Ewige Jude_ simply because the people responsible for such texts are no longer living to defend themselves? As a Jew, I resent _ad hominem_ dismissals of people based on their purported anti-Semitism, racism, sexism, etc. In the case of Campbell, I've heard from a number of different sources of his anti-Semitism, but seen nothing substantiated. Perhaps a more constructive approach to this would examine how this anti-Semitism manifests itself in Campbell's work or interviews, rather than or in addition to what someone said about him. In the meantime, let's not use terms like anti-Semitism lightly, either in accusation or defense, of people dead or living. Steve Carr Dept. of Radio-TV-Film UT-Austin
