Once upon a time I found a link to a Bill Moyers program and he interviewed a couple of folks who wrote a book about the Powell Memo.

Love Bill Moyers and miss him a lot.

Thanks for your contribution!

Thanks @Van Gogh !

Found also the great discussion between Bill Moyers and the two authors (Hacker and Pierson). I'll read their books to catch up "On Winner-Take-All Politics"

A pointer to the actual Powell memo: https://billmoyers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Lewis-Powell-Memo.pdf

My original thinking was probably more along what Bannon would provide in his anarchist university (which GOP appears to be building in DC). But this early inflection point from a future Supreme is very information. Thanks much.

Yes, correct. It's all there. Please do share it all. This is significant American history, insidious as it is. The sky has been falling for a very long time. We gotta start screaming, "Hey! Homey don't play that game!"

You might try Powell Memo Bill Moyers on Bing or Google. As I recall, from a long time ago, it had a copy of the original Memo, handwritten. Go figure. Those links have been lost from my computer, sadly.

If you find it before I do, please do add the link. Thank you.
