* During the 1920s, before she gained a permanent appointment in Columbia’s anthropology department, Benedict published poetry under the pseudonym Anne Singleton, but she set the pseudonym aside in the 1930s.
     
     

* Benedict pioneered the culture and personality school of anthropology. In Patterns of Culture she had used her own research on the Zuni, Boas’s on the Kwakiutl, and Reo Fortune’s on the Dobu. Fortune was Mead’s second husband. Benedict got along well with all three of Mead’s husbands.
     
     

* Barzun felt the need for a new edition in 1965 because “the idea it treats of, although repeatedly killed, is nevertheless undying.” He deplored the endless measuring and ranking of races as a “waste of intellect.”

* The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had been founded in 1909–10, and the Anti-Defamation League grew out of the Leo Frank trial in 1913.
     
     

* Kallen had first used cultural pluralism ideas while teaching at Harvard in 1906 or 1907, but these ideas did not appear in print until 1915. Kallen went on to a fine academic career. He was a professor of philosophy at the University of Wisconsin at Madison before moving to New York City as a founder of the New School for Social Research in 1919. Active as an international citizen and supporter of Zionism, he continued teaching at the New School until his death in 1974.

† Adamic revised Dynamite in 1934, to further acclaim. His first book, Robinson Jeffers: A Portrait , just a pamphlet on the reclusive California poet, was published by the bookstore of the University of Washington in Seattle in 1929. It appears in My America .

* Adamic died distraught in his New Jersey farmhouse in 1951 after having been red-baited and criticized for his unwavering support of Josip Tito in Yugoslavia. Adamic’s death was judged a suicide, but doubts remain as to its cause.
     
     

† Americans All, Immigrants All ignored Native American Indians, East Indians, West Indians, and Puerto Ricans.
     
     

* Discrimination against African American airmen was a major theme of a little-noticed war novel from 1948, James Gould Cozzens’s Guard of Honor , in which the commander, realizing the justice of the black men’s demands for an end to segregation, nevertheless sides with the more numerous, antiblack whites to avoid confrontation.
