"By the early 1990s, thanks to the success of the Simon-Kristol initiative, almost all major conservative magazines, think tanks, and even individual scholars had become dependent on money from a small number of conservative foundations."

Read harder: Lind (objectively) says 1970s. Not 1970 (your strawman).
