Michael Rosen, in his article on my book, We are all multiculturalists now(April 15), has dropped a key "not" somewhere, either in his transcription of our telephone interview or elsewhere on the article's way to print. I do not "embrace... [multiculturalism] wholeheartedly," as he makes clear in other parts of his article and I make clear throughout the book. I see the development of multiculturalism, with regret, as an inevitable response to one key failure in the American effort to embrace and assimilate people of all races, and I hope multiculturalism will be a temporary detour in this effort. Nathan Glazer Professor of Education and Sociology Emeritus
