    Ryskind, Morrie

    Manuscripts

    Approx. 35 items. Letters, memos. Some letters are from readers urging LAT to resume publication of conservative Morrie Ryskind's columns. (R. had ceased submitting material following LAT refusal to run one in late 1965) Most of the remaining correspondence involves LAT staff conducting a sort of "post-mortem" on Ryskind's association with LAT. Some are exchanges between Rex Barley (LAT Syndicate) or Nick Williams and Ryskind. The LAT declined to run certain of his columns when they believed he was making unsubstantiated allegations regarding media outlets. Also, Ryskind was a member of the John Birch Society and did not approve when LAT did an expose on the group, which seemed to fuel the "feud." A 6-pp. memo Williams wrote to Otis Chandler contains much information about the situation. It is dated March 7, 1966. Also in the file are another group of letters critical of LAT for "censoring" Ryskind.
