This is a good article about Gramsci. It looks a lot like and earlier (possibly 1983) article by Robert Chandler in Accuracy in Media Bulletin.
Due to an unexplained elbow injury I sustained Wed or Thurs. morning, I cannot lift most of my binders to find key articles but I will eventually find the Chandler article on Gramsci and give you AIM’s address if they are still in their old office.
One good AIM Report, August - B 1994,XXIII-16, was devoted to “I.F. Stone Outed” about how AIM got his FBI files declassified. They showed that he was once an “active member of the Communist Party USA at one stage in his career” and possible ties to the KGB (Romerstein/Reindel and others have more on Stone in their books).
This issue of the AIM Report also has a small but important section on composer Leonard Bernstein and some of his documented CPUSA fronts/causes activities.
“composer Leonard Bernstein” ?
His ‘compositions’ are crap.
He was a facile conductor whose interpretations were shallow,
He had to leave his conductorship at the New York Philharmonic when his homosexual advances toward orchestra members caused the board of directors to tell him to either leave or they would be unable to cover for him any more.
Similar to football player Jim Brown’s surprise retirement while still in his prime—after the Cleaveland Browns’ management told him they could no longer cover up his mistreating of women—beating them up, putting out cigarettes on their backs, etc.
Bernstein had a thing for promoting gangs He held a luncheon for the cop-killing Black Panthers. His musical West Side Story promotes gangs as sympathetic.
