From the August 1966 Atlantic: Houston's Shackled Press

A great article from way back about how the Houston Chronicle - back when newspapers really mattered - was controlled by the city's elite. They could define what was and was not talked about. Very difficult to do in today's digital environment.

It also details the tension brewing in the city between the conservatives that controlled the city and the increasingly liberal Johnson Administration.

Strongly recommended for 2301s especially.
