  • Master of Deceit J
    C A N D L E W I C K P R E S S R E S O U R C E S A N D A C T I V I T I E S F O R T E A C H E R S Master of Deceit J. Edgar Hoover and America in the Age of Lies by Marc Aronson ABOUT THE BOOK J. Edgar Hoover was the FBI’s first director. In this unsparing exploration of one of the most powerful Americans of the twentieth century, accomplished historian Marc Aronson unmasks the man behind the Bureau — his tangled family history and personal relationships; his own need for secrecy, deceit, and control; and the broad trends in American society that shaped his world. Using photographs, cartoons, movie posters, and FBI transcripts, Master of Deceit helps readers to understand Hoover’s motives and the political climate of the United States in the twentieth century. Aronson’s balanced writing and meticulous research provide readers with ample evidence, allowing them to draw their own conclusions as to whether or not Hoover’s methods were justified. As a teaching resource for the high-school classroom, Master of Deceit offers a rich opportunity for students to practice critical thinking skills and to consider the balance that must be struck by a government between providing security and upholding the constitutional rights of its citizens. This guide provides classroom activities, materials, and suggested movies that can be used in conjunction with Master of Deceit. A discussion guide is also available at www.candlewick.com.

  • Volume 13 Number 101 J. Edgar Hoover
    Volume 13 Number 101 J. Edgar Hoover – II Lead: As director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover guided the Bureau into an organized, accountable, and well- schooled police and detective agency. What he did in secret was another matter entirely. Intro.: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts. Content: Hoover established the FBI academy at Quantico, Virginia, and through its training facility set high standards for performance, intelligence, and physical ability. He began the first systematic collection of fingerprints for the purpose of crime detection. Yet, he maintained a life-long pursuit of people he considered suspect, Bolsheviks after World War I, Nazis, members of the Communist Party and suspected sympathizers during the 1940s and 1950s. When he encountered resistance to his tactics in the Executive Branch during the Truman Administration, he sought and found allies in Congress, such as members of the House Un-American Activities Committee. Later he turned his attention to any group considered subversive. Communists, Black Panthers, Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, as well as the Ku Klux Klan, all were put under FBI scrutiny. His tactics took on a darker more aggressive turn with the secret work of COINTELPRO, a Hoover creation which used dirty tricks, surveillance, illegal wiretapping, the planting of false documents, and infiltration, to which some have added murder and incitement to violence. These were used to marginalize so-called un- American groups. After the 1971 discovery of COINTELPRO, Hoover was severely criticized. As a hobby, Hoover was inclined to snoop, keeping tabs on the private lives of lots of people, the rich and powerful, congressmen and presidents as well as everyday citizens.

In the 1950s, Confidential was the founder of tabloid, celebrity journalism in the United States. With screaming headlines and bold, scandalous accusations of illicit sex, crime, and other misdeeds, Confidential destroyed celebrities’ reputations, relation- ships, and careers. Not a single major star of the time was spared the “Confidential treatment”: Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Liberace, and Marlon Brando, among others, were exposed in the pages of the magazine. 1 Using hidden tape recorders, zoom lenses, and private investigators and prostitutes as “informants,” publisher Robert Harrison set out to destroy stars’ carefully constructed media images, and in so doing, built a media empire. Between 1955 and 1957, Confidential was the most popular, bestselling magazine in the nation.

  • Volume 2 Number 046 Walter Winchell Lead: from the Mid-1930S to the 1950S, Arguably the Most Powerful Journalist in the Unit
    Volume 2 Number 046 Walter Winchell Lead: From the mid-1930s to the 1950s, arguably the most powerful journalist in the United States was Walter Winchell. Intro.: "A Moment in Time" with Dan Roberts. Content: For nearly three decades Winchell helped set styles, shaped public opinion, passed on juicy gossip, boosted the careers of those he admired and occasionally ruined others. He came from a troubled home and early on sought the escape afforded by show business. Winchell spent his teenage years and early twenties in the backwaters of America singing and dancing as a vaudeville performer. During the spring of 1920 Winchell began to put together a little gossip sheet for the members of the company with which he was touring. This led to a column in the "The Vaudeville News" and eventually employment on its staff. Ten years on the circuit had made Winchell into an entertainer and taught him how to reach and hold an audience, lessons he applied to great usefulness in the future. His first major break was writing the Broadway news in a tabloid, the New York Evening Graphic. The column was a collection of jokes, gossip, some show business news and lots of slang. Winchell helped promote and define slang terms, thus endearing himself to a whole generation of hip urban young people anxious to speak as well as live the liberated life of the 1920s. Winchell's people didn't get married, they Adam and Eved it. They didn't have fun, they made whoopie. More than any of his colleagues he specialized in gossip and his gossips separated in the column by three dots were very personal and more often than not embarrassing.
