Anti-semitism[edit]

I think it's obvious that there was an anti-semitic element in the hostility that greeted YM's successes. It's hinted at in the sources, but not explicitly stated. One newpaper story points out that the first three in the Eclipse were owned by people with "foreign" names: Joel, Rothschild, Neumann, but doesn't elaborate.
