July 19, 1968 Hiss Alice Mayhew Associate Editor Random House, Inc. 457 Madison Avenue New York City 10022 Dear Alice: Thank you for your letter of July 17 and at the same time let me acknowledge the letter which Margaret Wolf wrote me on June 28. I am taking the liberty of enclosing a carbon copy of the materials to her Just to make sure that all is in order. On the attached sheets I have noted the brief bib liographic sketches which you wanted of the contributors to Sections 1 and 2 of LATIN AMERICAN RADICALISM. They are in a somewhat haphazard order, but I don't think you will have too much difficulty piecing the parts together. The only names which I have left off are those of DeCastro and his friend, Otto Maria Carpeaux. Mr. Carpeaux is a journalist well-known to Mr. DeCastro and I, there fore suggest you get the brief bibliographical sketch directly from him. With respect to the awkward symbol in the Cockcroft- Anderson,if you have not had a reply yet from Mr. Anderson, may I suggest you write directly to Cockcroft. I can well understand your desire to synchronize the hardback and Vintage editions of the book. In addi tion, of course, we have the advantage of having a 1969 copyright date which might help us in some circles. With respect to the permissions, these are still being worked on and they will be sent to you very shortly. Actually, the problems are virtually non-existent to copyright with the exception of a few places. Let me run down the list of Section 2. Miss Alice E. Mayhew July 19, 1968 Page 2 The Horowitz article is, of course, my own and goes with the book. The Prebisch piece is from the United Nations Report and can be reproduced without permission, merely by indicating its original source of publication. The piece by Rosenstein-Rodan appeared in the magazine, Challenge, which no longer exists, and it might simply be best if you solicit his permission directly at the Department cf Economics at MIT. On the Furtado piece, I will write for permission. The Saxe-Fernandez essay was written under my supervision and translated by myself and, therefore, needs no permission beyond the OK I have already received from Juan. As you might well imagine, he is anxious to have it published. The Stavenhagen piece was sent to me for publication years ago and sub sequently appeared in New University Thought. Stavenhagen has given me his OK to reprint. The Gonzalez-Casanova piece is from Studies in Comparative International Develop ment and as editor of this I herewith give you permission So reprint with the $100.00 spoken of in a previous letter assumed to be in order. My own essay appeared first in Urban Affairs Quarterly and they have given me their permission to reprint without charge. John Johnson sent me a letter last March indicating his approval of the use of his essay which appeared in the Yale Review for our documentary reader. Merle Kling, too, sent me a letter last March in which he Ok'd the use of his essay. The Maspero piece is an original contribution first given as a lecture and mimeographed and published in our docu mentary for the first time. So you see the only item really not cleared Is the Furtado piece. I really think that this letter should perhaps clear up most of the outstanding difficulties which still block the completion of the volume. What we need now, at least what I need now, is a set of page proofs so that I can assure myself and reassure my colleagues that the many problems which obtained on the galleys have indeed been resolved. I hope that this letter finds you-in good health, and I look forward to seeing you soon. As ever. ILHism Irving Louis Horowitz Enc. Professor of Sociology cc: Margaret Wolf WASHINGTON IT. LOUIS.
