The September 10, 1963 issue of NR was, well, offbeat. Standard (and excellent!) fare included William F. Rickenbacker’s essay (a response to the ongoing “fusionism” debate) on ideas of liberty, man’s function, and the political animal. But elsewhere in the magazine were three original (and previously unpublished) works by the brilliant poet Ezra Pound, and a most-interesting (and also previously unpublished) letter from T.E. Lawrence, of Arabia fame. All very cool, and all yours to read (for free) when you subscribe to NROriginals, our weekly treat of NR greatest hits from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
