    Lee,
           In the spring of 1958 I was attending a college in South Texas. The
    editor of the campus newspaper was so far right he made everyone else look
    like a flaming liberal. I well remember that he wrote an editorial stating
    that all the major schools of journalism had extremely left wing faculties.
    I do not recall his reasons for believing the faculties were left wing and
    were recruiting left wing students. But I do recall his prediction that our
    national media would end up very left wing as a result.
           You also said something about these things going in cycles. I
    remember that in the 50s if you tangled with someone from the left you had
    best have done your homework. They were prepared in those days and you were
    not going to catch them uninformed or guilty of either sloppy scholarship or
    presentation.
