Manuscripts

Approx. 25 items: memos, letters, clippings related to persons, groups or organizations starting with letter "J." Much of the material here deals with complaints about Paul Conrad cartoons and reaction to them. Most of the protests came from supporters of Israel who believed LAT's coverage and Conrad's cartoons were biased in favor of the Palestinians in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
