“GOVERNOR ASKS FBI [to] PROBE MASON.”
His obit doesn’t mention that it was Governor Louie Nunn of Kentucky who had the police place him under surveillance and subsequently have him arrested. The one message I retained from his class was: “Think for yourself. Don’t be a lemming.” Of course, the press at the time was very conservative, and fearful of radicals overthrowing the government due to the anti-Vietnam movement. There was a lot of tension around. But, he really didn’t try to indoctrinate us.
