I know of a few Italian people who struggle with English. I'd like to hear somebody tell them English only. My father came here after WW I and spoke badly broken English until he died at age 90, nearly 70 years later. He and many of his generation of immigrants preferred to live in Italian enclaves and speak Italian among themselves; yet he worked hard to put me through college where I chose to become an English teacher. And so Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's words last night hit home: “It’s a story that’s told in many versions, but mine is, ‘What is the difference between a bookkeeper in New York’s garment district and a US Supreme Court Justice?’ One generation.” The Jewish Americans, Part I, currently on PBS. _The Jewish Americans | PBS_ (http://www.pbs.org/jewishamericans/?campaign=pbshomefeatures_2_thejewishamericans_2008-01-10) I'd like to think the same is true today. **************Start the year off right.
