Trying to figure out if the Lyle Munson US Press Association is him

Munson was a director of The Defenders of American Liberty which may not be this planned organization of that name, intended to be a right-wing version of the ACLU, focused on the Constitution as it was understood in 1950, founded by a million dollars left by D. B. Lewis when he died in 1965.

Birth name

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Currently, the birth name is cited to a paywalled court case. While I cannot get beyond the paywall and thus have only read the judge's ruling on another site, I am rather dubious that it specifies the birth name. It could have reason to have Munson's full legal name, but that would not be evidence that the name had not change since birth. Does anyone have a subscription to Leagle to verify my suspicions? -- Nat Gertler (talk) 02:09, 10 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Bookmailer launch and Hiss book

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Bookmailer seem to be getting good coverage in1957 for offering a free counterpoint book to anyone who ordered Alger Hiss's book through them. This column talks a bit about the inspiration for starting Bookmailer. I'm not in heavy editing mode, but there's something for anyone interested. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 00:27, 25 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I think I will look into that soon. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:31, 25 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
