Echoes of Korea. Both Pitzer and Jackson made set-piece speeches, obviously memorized, thanking the Viet Cong for releasing them. Jackson, dressed in shorts and sports shirt, said woodenly: "The National Liberation Front made the decision to release me in response to the colored Negro American struggle for peace in the U.S." Pitzer said that "I have not been physically tortured or beaten. I wish to thank the Front for their lenient policy." Though neither sergeant hinted at a condemnation or repudiation of the U.S. war effort in Viet Nam, the circumstances inevitably raised echoes of Korea and brainwashing...
...Black Muslims--dominate the block. Jo Jo Ferguson, Alliance's 21-year-old executive director, met me at the door.

In the liner notes to that first album Nat Hentoff blessed him as one of "the precipitously emergent singers of folk songs in the continuing renascence of that self-assertive tradition." Self-deceptive would be more accurate. Dylan was just another work shirt and guitar buried under hyperbolic interpretation of stock songs ("House of the Rising Sun," "Freight Train Blues"). The words had him then, ballooned his voice with folksy groans and rips, all upbeat enthusiasm and innocence. The Folksinger...
