Agnew Warns Bias Warps U S History in Texts
Vice President Spiro T. Agnew condemns editors and writers for bias he says warps American history. He cites Britannica and Collier’s as examples of a shift toward the new left and argues that politicized material is entering standard reference works used by students and teachers. He cites Collier’s yearbook and Britannica for not printing a study by Ernest van den Haag and objects to a Collier’s line calling Nixon a politician amid coverage of his activities and the 1970 elections.
