This page has been viewed 13978 times | | The monthly magazine "Liberation" was founded, published, and edited by David Dellinger from 1956-1975 out of New York. In the 1970s it became increasingly "collectivized," and by 1977 was edited by Jan Edwards and Michael Nill out of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Once Dellinger was gone, it went the way of most left publications of that era and concentrated on the personal as political.
We lost track after 1977, but presume that it folded not long thereafter. For many years, though, "Liberation" was a thoughtful and provocative addition to the pacifist left. In addition to occasional theoretical pieces, it was also strong on investigative journalism. In early 1965, for example, it ran long articles by Vincent Salandria challenging the conclusions of the Warren Commission, and in 1975 it published an important article by Fred Landis on psychological warfare by the CIA in Chile.
