Sir: … To say that I was astounded to find an article by Galbraith in your publication is putting it mildly. I have no use for such Extremists, either to the Right or to the Left, and certainly no knowledgeable person would deny that men such as Galbraith and A.D.A. represent the extreme Left just as the Birchers represent the extreme Right. In addition to not wanting my children exposed, and under the guise of the implied approval of a respectable publication to the onesided viewpoint of Extremists, the criticism, actual and suggested, in this article, of respected persons—some living and others unable to defend themselves because of recent deaths—is in the poorest possible taste … and for you to publish a purely propaganda item such as this that has no historical or current value, purely for the aggrandizement of the author, is unforgivable. …
