Times best seller list the week of publication.
His 1996 book, Think a Second Time, 44 essays on 44 subjects (HarperCollins),

intelligent mind." USA Today columnist and professor of law Susan Estrich
called it "Brilliant, a tour de force."
He has also co-authored two major works about Judaism: The Nine Questions
People Ask About Judaism, now in six languages, and Why the Jews? The Reason
for Antisemitism, regarded by many as the most persuasive explanation of
antisemitism written.
