{"value"=>"Lee Solomon on radio station WBAI talks about the Study Group"}

{"value"=>"<p>[Side A on the original recording is a telephone conversation with Mario Cuomo see # 02820].</p> <p>Solomon describes the Study Group (see audio cassette 02822, 02824, 02858 and the Names and Subjects Files), a New York City-based gay infrastructure consisting of 35-40 persons formed during Bella Abzug's 1970 campaign as a consciousness-raising group for gay politicians. Solomon charges the group with having secretly intruded in gay politics. Manford telephones to deny that the Study Group is a secret society, or that there is anything sinister or manipulative about it. Solomon responds by giving illustrations of the Study Group's string-pulling. The gist of Solomon's objections to the Study Group appears to be that, because the Study Group is an elite, it represents a threat to the principle of democratic participation which he feels is the basis of the gay liberation movement.</p>"}
