I'll get you started. Rachel Maddow publicizes Philip Johnson’s fascist activity (archpaper.com) “Every young man should be allowed to make one large mistake.” In 1957, Blanchette Rockefeller, MoMA president and spouse of John D. Rockefeller III, emphasized this maxim to MoMA’s board of trustees after the gaggle convened to discuss if they should admit a new member. The “young man” in question was Philip Johnson, and the “mistake” he made wasn’t singular per se, but rather a long list of actions that made Johnson an important actor in the prewar U.S. fascist movement. Johnson takes center stage in Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism, Emmy Award–winning MSNBC correspondent Rachel Maddow’s New York Times #1 Best Seller, published last October. Touring Nazi-occupied Poland in 1939 with SS officers, attending a 1939 Hitler rally in Nuremberg, actively spying for the Nazis, designing a stage for the fascist radio personality Father Coughlin, and translating texts about Nazi political economy into English over a 20-year period were just a few of Philip Johnson’s so-called “mistakes.” Blanchette Rockefeller herself had good reason to wash Johnson’s hands: Throughout World War II, the Rockefellers laundered money for the Nazis via their Chase National Bank office in Vichy, France, facilitating trade agreements for the fascists with complete impunity, as described by Michael Parenti in Blackshirts and Reds.
