[lbo-talk] Magazine/Journal "Guest Editorship" in the 1960s?

[Max B. Sawicky]

A new book entitled "The Mighty Wurlitzer: How the CIA Played America" has a chapter on cooptation/manipulation/recruitment of African-American intellectuals and artists.  Period covered is WWII to about 1970 (when a lot of arrangements were blown).  Also chapters on labor, academics, journalists, Catholics, & women.

>Tulane Drama review) to Ed Bullins for a special issue on Black Theater.

>My feeling is that this wasn't an isolated incident, that other
