-Caveat Lector- In late '68-'69, the word within the Movement in Philadelphia was that Allard Loewenstein had indeed been a CIA asset since his days as president of the National Student Association, when he accepted CIA funds to attend meetings such as the World Peace Union behind the Iron Curtain. What we heard was that the CIA began to get very antsy about the increasingly radical tone of youth activism following the murders of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy, and ordered Loewenstein (at that time a Congressman from Long Island) to draw his friend Gene McCarthy into the Presidential race to siphon off energy from the Movement. Apparently McCarthy learned about Lowenstein's CIA connection just before the Democratic convention in Chicago, which is why he suddenly disappeared on a "retreat" and then became increasingly cryptic in his public statements. > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Pugliese [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, October 30, 1999 5:54 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [CTRL] [CIA-DRUGS] Former CIA Director Woolsey > criticizes Clinton > > -Caveat Lector- > > A few more biographical details on James Woolsey: Clinton met James at > a > reunion of activists, held on Marthas Vineyard sometime in the late 60's, > in > the Eugene McCarthy 1968 campaign against LBJ's war and HHH.
