To: KLP who wrote (501284 ) 12/1/2003 2:01:40 AM From: Raymond Duray Respond to of 769667 GUIDE TO MEDIA, INSTITUTES AND FUNDERS: Iteration 1 KLP, Your buddy LindyBill has censored me on his politix thread for some silly reason, so I'm responding to one of your posts here. I found that you've hit a rich ore body of practical information that people really ought to understand, i.e. the political orientation of various NGOs, think tanks, K Street bandits and other influence peddlars. I'm going to plaigiarize your basic list, and add to and adjust it as I see fit. Your's will always be available at the other thread, but here's a start and I hope others can add to the mix as well. This will be a good resource for everyone, IMHO...... ************************************************* i.e.: LEFT/LIBERAL: .....FUNDERS,FOUNDERS & FUNSTERS: Baldwin, Alex Hyatt, Joel (Hyatt Services Inc) Lear, Norman Lewis, Peter B.
