Into the Fray: How NBC's Washington Documentary Unit Reinvented the News By Tom Mascaro

The Science of Spying, marked the arrival of Bob Rogers as a field reporter-producer. The program aired May 4, 1965, and tracked the roots of U.S. covert operations back to the 1950s, providing a stark account of clandestine initiatives in a time before public disclosures, congressional investigations, and Hollywood movies made the 1970s a difficult time to be an American spy. The "Pentagon Papers," the Pike and Church Committees, and thrillers such as Three Days of the Condor eventually revealed the CIA's complicity in assassination plots and interna-tional meddling, which Yates and Rogers had already seen up close. NBC management stood firm when The Science of Spying attracted criti-cism. Ad reps from Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn (BBD&O) screened it and advised their client B. F. Goodrich Company to withdraw.31 BBD&O issued a statement saying the program violated the Goodrich advertising policy "in that it treats a controversial public issue in a way which may do harm to the government of the United States?" NBC countered that the documentary "fell within the broad outlines of the program policy origi-nally submitted to and accepted by the B. F. Goodrich agency, BBD&O."33 The CIA watched the program and tracked subsequent reactions in the national press. Viewers wrote to President Johnson complaining NBC News had given America's enemies negative propaganda.34 Yates may have antici-pated some adverse reactions to the program, but he never expected to be frightened by what he discovered.

Dr. Oba T’Shaka: On the Transformation of Malcolm X Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 26 Views • 5 years ago

--------
Malcolm X His Transformations and a introduction to Malcolm through reviewing some of the critical scholarship on Malcolm X.

DR. ASA HILLIARD, III The former Fuller E. Callaway Professor of Urban Education has said the following about Dr. Oba T'Shaka's book The Political Legacy of Malcolm X "Oba T'Shaka has written a book which dwarfs all other writings on Malcolm X. Both Alex Haley and George Breitman suggest that Malcolm made fundamental changes in his position toward the end. It is T'Shaka's contention, and it is this contention that his work documents, that the substance of Malcolm's thought did not change, even though the form may have changed. A careful reading of T'Shaka's book will show that he has eclipsed both of these writers, one of whom has an international reputation."

Dr. Nathan Hare, Clinical Psychologist, Sociologist and Innovator of the Discipline of Black Studies, said ot Dr. Oba T'Shaka's book The Political Legacy of Malcolm X: "For Oba T'Shaka's good work in the organization and uplift of African and African American peoples, he has achieved both national and international eminence. Had I not already regarded Oba T'Shaka as one of the key social philosophers in the Afro-American race today, a reading of this manuscript on the life and death of Malcolm X would have been instructive to me. Its careful even meticulous scholarship is reminiscent of W.E.B. Dubois', The Philadelphia Negro."

Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, noted author, scholar and public intellectual in The New York Times Book Review section, reviewed all the major books on Malcolm X, and ranked The Political Legacy of Malcolm X number one In his review of Dr. T'Shaka's book he wrote: "The Political Legacy of Malcolm X is a clear exposition of Malcolm's political ideas as a revolutionary black nationalist."
