By Nathan Schneider

…n, in his post-presidential years, when he could wear a pink tie and speak freely. He was talking in just this way. His “schema,” to use your word, for understanding the world is one of interconnection and relationship, very much in the terms that you describe. Maybe I should send him a copy of the book; here as in so many areas lately he seems to have forgotten what he once knew Maybe you should. And that raises the question—Clinton isn’t talking…

In life, as in Little House, American Jews of Landon’s generation knew they were defined at least in part by language. It was natural, then, that when Landon finally told a Jewish story in his chosen medium, Yiddish would be used as a boundary, a marker of particular identity.
