POWER ON THERIGHT
BY WILLIAM W.TURNER
Fueled by backlash and legitimized by the rhetoric of the Nixon administration, the right-wing revival of the 1960s has brought extremists of the right closer to political power than they have been in a generation. William Turner, a former FBI agent, examines the resurgent right with an expert's eye, covering the whole range of right-wing activity from Ku Klux Klan terrorism in Mississippi to the high-powered Washington lobbying of the American Security Council-the semi-official channel between the right and the administration's foreign policy makers.
Relying on personal contact and investigation, Turner presents a series of portraits of such key components of the right as the Minuteman organization and its jailed leader Robert DePugh; Patrick Frawley, chief executive of Schick and Eversharp and paymaster for right-wing causes; the mushrooming Liberty Lobby, a smooth pressure group with "one foot in neo-Nazi cultism and the other in the corridors of Congress"; and right-wing fundamentalists like the Reverend Carl Mclntire-an intimate of both conservative congressmen and Vice President Ky of South Vietnam. Turner concludes with a look at an ominous new phenomenon: the steady rightward drift of the nation's police departments. ^

William Turner is a ten-year veteran of the FBI who left the Bureau in 1961 after calling for a congressional investigation of J. Edgar Hoover's policies. Now a journalist and lecturer, Turner has contributed to many magazines, including Playboy and Ramparts, and has written police science articles for the legal press. He is the author of Hoover's FBI, The Police Establishment, and Invisible Witness.
