Willard Cleon Skousen,

Tom, thanks for adding this. I made a slight revision from memory and will need to check other sources; he may well warrant an article.

My recollection is that much of his influence did not come from his academic post, but originally as an FBI agent, and then in McCarthy-period anticommunism. He is, indeed, a source for many far-right organizations. Howard C. Berkowitz 15:26, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
