Koch, however, that perhaps they are contributing to whatever growing black anti-Semitism there is?

In different ways. I think Morris Abrams in a more sophisticated way than Ed Koch on this issue, and I think he's quieting down now, by the way, particularly as election approaches. Ed Koch used to shoot from the lip on this issue. I think that Morris Abrams was more thoughtful, although I certainly disagreed with him. Roger Wilkins may debate with Morris Abrams. From my biased point of view, Roger would devastate Morris' position, but I wouldn't put Morris Abrams and Ed Koch in the same category merely because they're both Jewish. I don't recall Morris emphasizing or discussing problems of black anti-Semitism. Morris seemed to me to be more concerned with the question of quotas and affirmative action, those two.
