Reviews
Interesting article on FBI infiltration and use of underground press in the 60s.
From an Amazon.com review: "If left-wingers can read "[b:The Closing of the American Mind|75812|The Closing of the American Mind|Allan Bloom|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1291063942s/75812.jpg|1856482]" as a challenge to their assumptions, those of the right should consider doing the same with this fine piece of work."
