Scope and Content
Merton responds to two articles. The first is a review appearing in the Wall Street Journal of a book entitled The Corporation and the Arts by Richard Sedric Fox Eells. The second article, written by Christopher Lasch in The Nation in 1967, discussed the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) and its connections with the Congress for Cultural Freedom. Merton discusses the nature of artistic freedom and the relative merits of different forms of political dissent against totalitarian forms of control – engagement in the system by liberals versus radicals who subvert or disengage from the system.
