“Find out why John Holt does not think of children as “cute;” why he thinks that six-year-olds should have the right to vote”
In this issue. . .
We are proud to present an exclusive in-depth Outlook interview with Vivien Kellems, billed in our last issue as a “woman of 76 years of age who takes on the minions of the state tax bureaucracy.” Also wielding their pens are our regular columnists, Tuccille the Heretic and Rothbard the Plumber, as well as newcomers Art Carol, Cary Leiter, L.A. Rollins and Allan Silverstein, and oldtimers Gary Greenberg and Robert LeFevre. All in all, an issue to make the powers-that-be tremble.
Welcome Aboard
I also take pleasure in welcoming two new members to the Outlook staff. Paul Streitz is an account executive at J. Walter Thompson and is active in the Free Libertarian Party of New York. He joins our staff as the Promotion and Sales Director. Norm Muchnick has worked as a copywriter for several major advertising agencies for the past 10 years (currently at Ted Bates, Inc.), and is also active in the Free Libertarian Party of New York. Norm joins our staff as Advertising Director.
Previews
In the January issue, we can look forward to the trenchant analysis and political commentary we have come to expect from Robert Baker in The Polished Razor and from Karl Hess in his Letter From An Enemy of the State. Outlook will also feature an economic analysis of the relationship between a return to the gold standard and the preservation of world peace by Howard Katz, head of the Committee to Reestablish the Gold Standard.
Our exclusive Outlook interview will be with John Holt, critic of the American educational establishment, and author of How Children Fail, How Children Learn, The Underachieving School, What Do I Do Monday, and, just recently, Freedom and Beyond. As usual, Outlook focuses not only on the views which have made John Holt a household name in the educational field, but also on questions which are of specific interest to libertarians.
Find out why John Holt does not think of children as “cute;” why he thinks that six-year-olds should have the right to vote; and what he thinks of R.D. Laing, Thomas Szasz, Madalyn Murray O’Hair, Marilyn Monroe and parochial education—all in next month’s Outlook.
