About This Book

Jean Baer, journalist and social commentator examines the new generation of successful Jews, a meritocracy in which achievement, not inherited wealth and position, become the meaningful mark of distinction. Based on two hundred fifty-four interviews and complete with photographs and index, this book offers fascinating, first-hand views of the public and private lives of such well-known Jews of accomplishment as opera star Roberta Peters, financial columnist Sylvia Porter, Wall Street wunderkind Sanford Weill and many others.
