Knight Rampant
HAD I not been prepared by a previous printing of Professor Knight’s "The New Anti-Semitism" in The Listener the impact of his talk from 2YA would have been even more startling. For I prefer to believe that there is no such thing as a new anti-semitism, that what we have among us is merely the after-effect of the disease and not a symptom of a new outbreak of the epidemic. I imagine that most of those who. heard Professor Knight’s broadcast had read the talk, but to hear it spoken was a salutary experience, since it served to remind us of facts we had perhaps preferred to skim lightly over at the original reading. And there is no denying the fact that there’s something about the Scottish accent which adds weight to an argument-there is energy jin the broadened a and an echoing resonance in the rolled r. And when we have the combination of Scottish accent and intense personal conviction (not an uncommon one) we are likely to reach a high standard of persuasive oratory. 6
