A Gentle Revolutionary

The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

Richard Pyatt reads two articles from the current edition of Atlantic Monthly magazine. The first is "Notes from the Journal of a Gentle Revolutionary" by James S. Kunen, a twenty-year old Columbia University student who participated in the previous spring's "insurrection." Pyatt reads passages from his journal and taken from his book, _The Strawberry Statement_, due to be published by Random House books in March 1969.

Pyatt also reads from a 'viewpoint' article on Nixon in China, "Time to Talk" by James C. Thomson Jr. Thomson is an East Asian specialist at the Department of State and the White House 1961-1966 and currently teaches history at Harvard University.
