Jack Smith deserves a lot of credit for his journalistic work, and his opposition to crazy adventurist colic, but the real heroes of the Guardian were the founders: James Aronson, Cedric Belfrage and John T McManus. They started the paper at the start of the Cold War, and kept it going throughout the red scare days. Jack owes them a mention at least. The young generation took over - ousting Aronson - when the movement was on the rise in the mid 60s. I recommend Aronson's memoir Something to Guard. If archives exist from the Aronson and Smith periods, readers can form their own opinions about the paper's high and low points. ey ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
