Title: [PROTEST BROADSIDE AGAINST CONSERVATIVE EXTREMISM]. What About the Hate Books
Author: [Democratic National Committee 1964]. Bailey, John M. (chairman). Price, Margaret (Vice-Chairman)
Seller: Michael Laird Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: Washington DC: Democratic National Committee, 1964. First Edition. Very good. Broadside (8 1/2" x 14"), printed on both sides on slightly tan-tinted paper, folded horizontally as issued (two corners slightly curled). In very fresh state, suitable for exhibition and study. AN UNPRECEDENTED BROADSIDE ISSUED BY THE 1964 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE, DENOUNCING THREE PUBLICATIONS DISTRIBUTED FREELY BY SUPPORTERS OF FAR-RIGHT EXTREMIST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BARRY GOLDWATER. THIS BROADSIDE IS TANTAMOUNT TO A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BOOKS DEEMED MOST DANGEROUS TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ITSELF. Not in OCLC. Indeed, we have been unable to find a single reference to this remarkable broadside. It was issued under the auspices of the DNC to warn its constituents to the outrageously false polemics of the following three self-published Conservative propaganda, all distributed free of charge by workers of Goldwater's campaign: 1. "A Texan Looks at Lyndon" by racist segregationist J. Evett Haley ("a study in unhospitalized paranoia"); 2. "A Choice Not an Echo" by infamous ERA opponent and covert John Bircher Phillis Schafley; 3. "None Dare Call it Treason" by anti-Communist far-right lunatic extremist John Stormer. To the above are added two "Hate-Filled Tabloids [likewise] being distributed by Goldwater workers": Liberty Lobby Presents (anti-Semitic and racist, "on the extreme fringe of the radical right") and Human Events (opposing Social Security; available by subscription through the John Birch Society). Indeed, numerous scholars link the rise of extreme-right GOP presidential candidates to THIS 1964 election. Even though Goldwater was utterly defeated by moderate Democrat Lyndon Johnson, his controversial politics sparked the Republican Party's ultra-conservative faction, which has only continued to increase. Tragically, Goldwater's 1964 campaign merely foreshadowed Donald Trump's monstrous 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential election campaigns. "Goldwater was, without doubt, a divisive figure: Democratic detractors like Martin Luther King. Jr. and then-California Governor Pat Brown had compared his blunt, pull-no-punches rhetoric to Hitler. Within his own party, moderates responded with varying degrees of dismay or horror to his policies. [...] But while his own bid for the White House flamed out, the embers of Goldwater's political philosophy -- championing small government and individual freedoms -- would ignite the party's conservative wing for decades to come." (SOURCE: Suzanne McGee, "How Barry Goldwater Brought the Far Right to Center Stage in the 1964 Presidential Race," History Channel Online, article dated 2/26/24). A TERRIFYING DOCUMENT: TRAGICALLY THE WARNINGS OF 1964 WENT UNHEEDED AND THE FABRIC OF THE FORMERLY UNITED STATES HAS BECOME UTTERLY ABRADED, PERHAPS IRREPARABLY.

Title: [Collection]: Correspondence of Donald Gallup and Joseph Bard: Ezra Pound and The Dynamism of a New Poetry
Author: (POUND, Ezra), Donald Gallup, Joseph Bard
Seller: Between the Covers- Rare Books, Inc. ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: 1958. Unbound. Very Good. A small collection of correspondence between Yale professor and Ezra Pound scholar, Donald Gallup and writer, editor, and friend of Pound, Joseph Bard, including an excerpt of a talk Bard gave involving personal anecdotes of Pound. At the center of the collection is a mimeographed excerpt of an address given by Bard at the Institute of Hispanic Studies in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, on the 28th of February, 1957 titled "The Dynamism of a New Poetry"; the excerpt includes the "central section containing reminiscences of Pound from total of 15 numb. leaves" (Gallup's typed note). The excerpt contains pages five to nine (five leaves each printed on the recto with about a paragraph of text on the versos), with the addition of a cover sheet and a page of typed notes only partially related to the address (some of the notes here appear in Gallop's bibliography on Pound). This was sent along with a short typed letter dated October 3, 1958, "Dear Mr. Gallup, at the request of Mr. Charles Hamilton I am sending you a copy of my lecture in Spain on 'New Poetry.' It was discussed on Madrid Radio and ... Ezra said in a letter (which you probably possess) that it was the best introduction to m.p. yet. Sorry about this torn copy, but it is the only one I have." The letter is signed by Bard and in his hand is written, "N.B. Hurrah! I have found a clean copy!" though this copy is not present here. The excerpt speaks of Bard's time spent with Pound and their correspondence. Bard writes, "I had an introduction to him from a literary friend, but this was never used, because on seeing me on the sea-shore he greeted me at once as a long-lost brother.” He goes on to describe how Pound wore a black corduroy suit gifted to him by W.B. Yeats. He briefly describes walks he, Pound, and Yeats, would take in Rapallo, and describes Pound's bluntness and passion for intellect, "But, above all things, he [Pound] was interested in living and dedicated minds, and had but contempt for the average, commercial man, and said with Machiavelli: li uomini vivono in pochi, gli altri son pecorelli," which roughly translates to, "A few men live, the rest are sheep." Bard goes on to discuss his correspondence with Pound, which began in 1927 shortly after Bard's marriage fell apart, Bard describes his mood as "greatly perturbed" and that Pound's advice at the time was simply, "Joseph, practice polygamy." In another letter Pound writes, "‘Oh, if only you had translated Frobenius when it was offered to you in 1932, you would have saved the lives of two million human beings,” this refers to the work of ethnologist Leo Frobenius, who Pound would eventually meet and become "great friends" with. The most colorful anecdote in the talk does not involve Pound but rather someone Pound introduced Bard to, the writer Natalie Barney: "Such was the introduction to Natalie Barney's salon, in the Rue Jacob, Paris (this Lady being the well-known 'Amazon,' the friend of Remy de Gourment's) a salon where our Junoesque hostess ruled supreme over the lions and lionesses of art, letters, and drama—and where we were ceremoniously taken to the 'Temple d’Amour' and where the very sacharin [sic] was taken out from a book-shaped little etui by chubby Salomon Reinach" (Reinach was an influential French archaeologist and religious historian). It's likely that Bard made a mistake here though and was actually referring to Barney's "Temple d’Amitie," which translates to "Temple of Friendship." The address continues to quote Bard's correspondence with Pound before getting into Pound's actual work, at which point the excerpt cuts off. Included is a copy of Gallup's reply to Bard dated October 14, 1958, expressing his delight at receiving a copy and commenting on Pound's recent hospital release, "What a relief it is to have Pound out of St. Elizabeth's and at Brunnenburg! The change will of course have a tremendous influence on his work." Also included is a Spanish newspaper clipping discussing Bard's talk, and a second letter from Bard, dated October 27, 1958, asking Gallup if he, "could put me in touch with somebody in the U.S.A. who would be interested in the broadcasting of short-stories already produced by the B.B.C. Third." Enclosed is a clipping from *Radio Times* with the title "A Boyhood by the Danube" discussing the broadcast presentation of Bard's story, "The Tale of a Child," which tells of Bard's childhood growing up in Hungary. Altogether the collection consists of two short typed letters (a one page letter, 5¼" x 6¾", and a two-page letter on a single leaf, 5¼" x 7" when folded) from Joseph Bard, both Signed, both include newspaper clippings; the mimeographed excerpt, 8½" x 11"; a short one-page typed letter from Donald Gallup 5½" x 8½"; two envelopes addressed to Gallup, and a typed receipt of the lecture "Gift of Dr. Joseph Bard ... for the Ezra Pound Collection in the Y.C.A.L." *OCLC* locates two holdings of this talk under its Spanish title, "El Dinamismo de Una Nueva Poesia" at Yale and UT-Austin, but they date the conference as being held on March 8, 1957. The publication of this talk is listed at B59 in Donald Gallup's bibliography of Pound, which states, "Published March 1957; number of copies unknown." The entry goes onto describe a reproduction of a letter from Pound to Bard dated December 17, 1932 that apparently goes with the published talk; part of that entry is found in the additional page of notes included here in the mimeographed excerpt. All of the material has some toning and light wear, a paperclip mark and tearing at the top of the mimeograph excerpt, overall very good; though it should be noted that towards the bottom of each page is an additional layer of text printed in blue ink, upside down and mirrored, reproducing a portion of the text found elsewhere on the page. An interesting bit of writing concerning Ezra Pound, along with the brief correspondence of two men of letters both connected to Pound in different ways.
