<p>How the Klan stole Christmas in Ohio--and what Ohioans did
about it
</p>
<p> Just as Cincinatti thought it might live down the
embarrassing Marge Schott affair came yet another specter of
bigotry: taking advantage of a federal court decision that forced
the city to permit a huge Hanukkah menorah in a public square,
the Ku Klux Klan erected a tit-for-tat wooden cross nearby.
Though this particular cross was not afire, its sponsorship by
the hate group inflamed local opinion. A day before its erection,
hundreds gathered in a candlelit protest. Hours after the
appearance of the Klan krucifix, a pair of demonstrators toppled
and trampled on it--but the Klan had a new cross up within
days. Meanwhile, the two vandals were arrested under the very
democratic principles that a century of Klansmen have never
understood.
