I totally agree the guy was fruity.
But Epstein and Rosenbaum and others kept the lid on just how nutty he was for a long time.
It was not until Manogld's bio came out and then the Wise book and then Holzman that we understood just how bad the guy was. And his alleged "mystique" was exposed.

Back in early 1975, Rosenbaum was "reporting" for the Voice and had it all figured out. Just a smug, young Ivy League know it all. His aloof, establishment roots on display pushing back against leftists and anarchists. It seems Bush wasn't the only member of Yale '68 who was not a part of the facts based community.
Generous use of the word "buffs" in Rosenbaum's reduction of those engaged in questioning the assassination "findings" of government. The contradiction is why was Rosenbaum covering "the buffs" at all? As an anthropologist posing as a journalist, he might as well have been presenting a field study on a primitive culture or on apes.

Nice one TOm.
I didn't know the jerk went that far back in his attempts to demean.

Jim, I just read on the DPF that you're writing a two part essay on McAdams. Look forward to reading it. And I can't wait to see the response by McAdams and his LN cohorts.

Ron Rosenbaum seemed transformed in the February, 1975 Voice article I linked to in my last post compared to his much more evenhanded, journalistic treatment of Jim Garrison as Rosenbaum described their December, 1972 telephone conversation.:

Village Voice - Jan 18, 1973

I wondered what influences might have changed Rosenbaum's treatment of the Kennedy Assassination controversies and those who he much more matter of factly refered to as "buffs" in his early 1973 article, compared to his ridicule and scorn just 25 months later.
In early 1973, Rosenbaum was not working for Clay Felker.
Change the page to 4 and press enter and you will see Clay Felker's named displayed at the top of the masthead in the same Village Voice 1975 edition containing the Rosenbaum article Ilinked to in my last post.:

In 1962, Felkner had hired Jimmy Breslin at the Tribune. Breslin rushed to Dallas after the assassination and almost single handedly reversed Dr. Malcolm Perry's initial statements to the press describing the gunshot wound to JFK's throat as an entry wound.

Richard Case Nagell: The Most Important Witness
On the Trail of the JFK Assassins, by Dick Russell
Reviewed by James DiEugenio
.....A few years later, Russell was freelancing for journals like The Village Voice. He secured an assignment to write about the fledgling Assassination Information Bureau which was set up to cover the formation of the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA). It was while doing this report that Russell first heard of Richard Popkins's work on the programmed assassin Luis Castillo. The then editor of the Voice, Gloria Steinem's former CIA colleague Clay Felker, tried to discourage him from hanging out with such goofballs. But Russell persevered. And so his JFK writing sidelight, and the book, was off and running.......

THE EVE OF DESTRUCTION
Blog Post by Steven Robert Travers - Oct.14.2010 -
In 1969, novelist Norman Mailer made a quixoticr un for Lindsay’s office. His original supporters and advisors included writer George Plimpton, gadfly Norman Podhoretz, New York magazine editor Clay Felker,and feminist Gloria Steinem. He hoped to gain traction from the Upper East Side crowd. He joined forces with the Irish columnist Jimmy Breslin. As a politicalcombination others have been better, but as literary talents this was heavy weight material. Most of the campaign consisted of sitting around Mailer’s Columbia Heights abode drinking heavily. The idea was to split the vote and pick up the Democrat Party, in shambles at the time. ....

I've always suspected that about Rosenbaum and Felker.
See, he traces his career from when Felker took over the VV.
I have never seen him mention those two earlier articles anywhere.
Clay Felker is very important in how the so called off mainstream press was run in those years, like VV and Esquire.
