Scope and content
Letter from Dennis J. Duncanson to Fon W. Boardman, Jr. regarding a review in the New York Times Book Review by John T. McAlister Jr., which Duncanson found to be biased against him. Duncanson writes to say the he believes McAlister's review is biased and that he wrote the review to advertise his own ideas, with the intention to provide background support to the campaign of Senator Robert Kennedy's candidacy for President. As a result, Duncanson states that his book is, ultimately, not reviewed. Duncanson expresses regret for requesting a copy to be sent to McAlister to review and writes of McAlister's reputation as regarded on other American campuses as someone who is ambitious and pushful beyond one's talents.
