Horowitz is absurd to claim that Jews and Christians should not receive their due
As a Jew, I read David Horowitz's letter to the editor in yesterday's 'Prince' with horror and charoset. I think it is every Jew's right to demand reparations, as it should be the right of any moneylender with outstanding loans. We may try to drown the sorrow of our debt with bitter herbs, but, just like Moses, we can't wait forever for someone to raise the dough.
Furthermore, I find it ludicrous for Horowitz to insinuate that Christians have no right to demand monetary reparations for the way they were persecuted and crucified in the first and second centuries. If the descendants of the Roman Empire won't foot the bill, I'm sure we Jews can chip in. Yahweh knows we have enough money. But not if you Christians want no interest in paying us back. Oliver C.

University's failure to appropriately address workers' needs should be fixed
As a progressive Princeton alumnus, I would like to seriously reconsider supporting the University financially until the workers' benefits and wages are improved. There is no excuse for a wealthy university like Princeton to underpay its valuable employees. Gene Bruskin '68
