UoM as PBS/NPR incubator sounds so friendly. Even as you aptly identified it as an incubator it's Big Bird and Oscar that comes to most minds when NPR is mentioned and yet Kurt Levin's brief stop at UoM contributed much I'd say to Bill Ayres role in the sixties chaos.

A new 1945 primary source, the TIHR's originating funding proposal to the Rockefeller Foundation, proposes all the components of OD, outside mention of Lewin et al. Thus, what was to become OD was invented in the Britain of 1945, not the USA of the 1950s.

Which makes more sense considering all the UNwarranted change the world has been subjected to in the 20th Century.

Why would we be surprised that the plan developed for the RF seventy five years ago would be sought out to play a role in this group dynamic exercise many dare to call scamdemic?
