The World's Most Powerful
It's a list of "the world's most powerful people," 100 of the
bankers and media moguls, publishers and image makers who shape the
lives of billions. It's an exclusive, insular club, one whose
influence stretches around the globe but is concentrated strategically
in the highest corridors of power.
And by at least by one count, ninety percent are Jewish.

Normally Jews Would Be Nervous
It's a list, in other words, that would have made earlier
generations of Jews jump out of their skins, calling attention, as it
does, to their disproportionate influence in finance and the media.

Jews Feel Good About Themselves
Joseph Aaron, the editor of The Chicago Jewish News, thinks it's a
list his readers should "feel very, very good about."
"Talk about us being accepted into this society, talk about us having
power in this society," Aaron wrote this week, in apparent reference
to Jewish life in the United States. "Talk about anti-Semitism being a
thing of the past, talk about Jews no longer needing to be afraid to
be visible and influential."

The World Was Cheated By Hitler
For Aaron, the list shows how "vital" Jews have become in American
life. The Vanity Fair rankings, he writes, "[tell] you so much about
the place of Jews in this country, about the amazing people Jews are."
Jews excelled disproportionately in areas such as business and
medicine.
