Leonard L. Milberg ’53 (Inbox, July 11) calls my words “Israel’s de facto control of the U.S. Congress” (Inbox, May 16) a lie, reminding him of the “ ‘truths’ about Jews” in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. In fact the Protocols make the unremarkable point that the success of Jews in business confers much power. That they go on to describe bizarre plans for world domination does not make this observation false, nor does the fact that the Protocols probably were not written by Elders of Zion.
