The one chapter I've read so far at the bookstore of David Greenberg's new book on Nixon's Image is on the New Left and Nixon. Spends a bit of pgs. on what Jon remembers focusing on Carl Oglesby. He traces it to a underground newspaper in '71, if memory serves. Then Village Voice writer Ron Rosenbaum followed up on it. http://www.forward.com/issues/1998/98.06.26/arts.html Looking For Hitler A Writer's Revenge
