Papers of Richard Halworth Rovere, a writer and editor known for his work on politics and current affairs for The New Yorker (1944-1978) and his book Senator Joe McCarthy. Best for the period from the late 1930s to the mid-1960s, the papers offer excellent material on Rovere's involvement with the Communist Party and on his writings, particularly those on McCarthyism and the Vietnam War. Especially well documented are seven books Rovere wrote and contributions to such periodicals as The New Masses, The New Yorker, Harper's, Encounter, and The (London) Spectator. Elsewhere in the collection are files on the Peace Corps in Kenya, the Ku Klux Klan, the American Committee for Cultural Freedom, and Thomas Dewey's 1944 Presidential campaign. Among many prominent correspondents are Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Granville Hicks, Irving Kristol, and Frederick Lewis Allen.

Biography/History
Born on May 5, 1915, in Jersey City, New Jersey, Rovere graduated from Bard College (then a branch of Columbia University), Annandale, New York, in 1937. While an undergraduate, he was editor of The Bardian and worked with the trade unions in nearby Poughkeepsie and Hudson. Rovere wrote for several publications after graduation, some of them “pulps.” In 1938, however, he became associate editor of The New Masses, writing articles, editorials, and book reviews. Rovere remained there until August 1939, when announcement of the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact forced him to resign in protest. He subsequently joined with much of American liberal opinion in opposing the Communist Party. After leaving The New Masses, Rovere contributed to several periodicals, making plain his disenchantment with the Party. Early in 1940 he traveled to South Carolina and Georgia to investigate the Ku Klux Klan on behalf of the Workers' Defense League. His articles on the Klan's anti-labor activities appeared in the Jewish Daily Forward, The Nation, and the labor press. Later in the same year, Rovere became an assistant editor of The Nation; in 1943 he moved to Common Sense as an editor.
While editing The Nation and Common Sense, Rovere also wrote for other periodicals. His article in Harper's, “Dewey: The Man in the Blue Serge Suit,” 1944, brought Rovere an invitation to become a staff member of The New Yorker. At first he wrote “Profiles,” book reviews, and other features; in 1948 he began “Letter from Washington,” which remained his primary assignment. While serving as a staff member of The New Yorker, Rovere contributed to other magazines (e.g., The New Republic, Harper's, Esquire, The Progressive, and Encounter), wrote for the Spadea Syndicate Inc., 1953-1954; and served as the U.S. correspondent for the (London) Spectator, 1954-1962. Through these writings, Rovere made an important contribution, notably during the McCarthy era and the Vietnam War, to public understanding of contemporary events. Except for Howe and Hummel: Their True and Scandalous History (1947), about two unscrupulous New York lawyers of the late nineteenth century, and Arrivals and Departures: A Journalist's Memoir (1976), his books, for the most part, dealt with contemporary events: The General and the President, with Arthur Schlesinger Jr., 1951 (reissued as The MacArthur Controversy, 1965); Affairs of State: The Eisenhower Years, 1956; Senator Joe McCarthy, 1959; The American Establishment and Other Reports, Opinions, and Speculations, 1962; The Goldwater Caper, 1965; and Waist Deep in the Big Muddy, 1968. Five of these books consist primarily of material which first appeared in The New Yorker and other periodicals.
Rovere was a Chubb Fellow at Yale University, 1951; served on the board of editors of the American Scholar, 1958-1967; lectured as a Fellow at Ezra Stiles College, Yale University, 1972-1973; and was a visiting professor of English at Vassar College, 1975-1976. From 1969 he served as chairman of the editorial advisory board of The Washington Monthly. Rovere was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Council on Foreign Relations. He was married in December 1941, to Eleanor Burgess; they had three children. Rovere died on November 24, 1979.
Much of the above information was supplied by Rovere's Arrivals and Departures: A Journalist's Memoir (New York: MacMillan, 1976).

Part 1 (U.S. Mss 75AF): Original Collection, 1931-19686.8 cubic feet (17 archives boxes) The papers of Richard H. Rovere document a considerable part of his writing career, but are best for the period from the late 1930s through the mid-1960s. The papers contain correspondence, reports, minutes, copies of articles, drafts of books, speeches, notes, a journal, engagement books, a card index, and transcripts of interviews and radio and television presentations. Many of the folders contain notes on their contents written by Rovere for guidance in the organization of his papers. Six folders of formerly restricted material, identified below, have been placed in box seventeen of the collection. The papers are divided into four sections: general papers, writings, a subject file, and a card index. The GENERAL PAPERS consist of correspondence, 1931-1968; prep school and undergraduate papers, 1931-1936; a journal, 1948-1952; engagement books, 1955-1965; notes on a trip to Dayton, Tennessee, 1950; on a White House Conference, 1966; and on interviews with James A. Farley, 1943 (for a Harper's article); John Bartlow Martin, 1965 (regarding the crisis in the Dominican Republic); and Arthur Goldberg, 1966 (regarding the Vietnam War); speeches, 1952-1968; transcripts of interviews of Rovere regarding the Eisenhower administration and John Foster Dulles; and of an interview of Walter Lippmann by Rovere in 1965; news clippings; and miscellany. The correspondence is particularly noteworthy for its quality and breadth of coverage of Rovere's activities. This is especially true regarding Rovere's break with the Communist Party in 1939 and his subsequent change in political affiliation. Both the general correspondence and that with Granville Hicks, close friend and literary editor of The New Masses, 1934-1939, provide abundant documentation for this period. (The Hicks file also has letters and drafts regarding a 1955 murder investigation in Hyde Park, New York.) Separate folders of correspondence with other individuals include Shamus O'Sheel (neé James Shields), 1937-1942, World War I collaborator of German agent George Sylvester Viereck and participant in the peace movements of the late 1930s; Rebecca West, 1953, concerning her argument with Arthur Schlesinger Jr., over the significance of Joseph McCarthy; Margaret Czeal Shafer, 1950-1967, a family friend whose correspondence, according to Rovere, provides almost a journal for the 1950s; Arthur Schlesinger Jr., 1950-1967; Irving Kristol and other editors of Encounter magazine, 1953-1962; Bernard Brodie of the Rand Corporation, 1960, concerning his book Strategies in the Missile Age and the Eisenhower administration; Senator Thomas C. Hennings (Democrat, Missouri), 1954-1959; and Immanuel Velikovsky, 1966, concerning his scientific theories. There is also a letter from Leigh White, foreign correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, about John Gunther, 1948; four memos by Rovere on Washington politics, for the Research Institute of America, 1958; correspondence with Farrar, Strauss, and Company, 1948-1964, publisher of several of Rovere's books; and letters and related material from George V. Barron favoring Hubert Humphrey as vice president, 1964, with a letter from Humphrey disavowing any connection with Barron's activity. The WRITINGS section consists of material relating to Rovere's books, articles and book reviews, his introductions to books by others, and his unpublished writings. There are drafts, correspondence, notes, and reviews for Howe and Hummel, The General and the President, Affairs of State, Senator Joe McCarthy, The American Establishment, The Goldwater Caper, and The MacArthur Controversy. The research correspondence for Howe and Hummel is notable for such names as Samuel Hopkins Adams, Algernon Blackwood, John Dos Passos, and Henry L. Mencken. The correspondence for The American Establishment has an exchange with John Kenneth Galbraith. In addition to letters from Harry S. Truman, the file for The General and the President has a substantial amount of correspondence with Frederick Lewis Allen regarding a Harper's article by Rovere and Schlesinger, July 1951. Rovere's articles and reviews are divided into two groups. The first is arranged by periodical or publisher for which there is a significant representation of Rovere's contributions; the second is by date for miscellaneous articles and reviews which appeared elsewhere. The file for The New Yorker is the largest, but it is far from complete. Other periodicals represented include The New Masses, The (London) Spectator, Harper's, The Call, The Jewish Daily Forward, The New Republic, The Reporter, and Esquire.
Many of the articles are in draft as well as in published form and are often accompanied by publisher and reader correspondence. Though much of the accompanying material is routine, there are some exchanges of special note. Examples are the correspondence with the Workers' Defense League, which sent Rovere south to investigate the Ku Klux Klan in 1940; the letters of Jonathan Daniels, Stephen Early, and Harry Hopkins in the research correspondence for Rovere's New Yorker
“Profile” of Edward T. Flynn, 1945; and letters from George Christian, President Lyndon Johnson's press secretary, and others regarding a New Yorker article on U.S. Vietnam policy, 1967. There is also correspondence and other material about a libel case that resulted from Rovere's 1955 Harper's article on government witnesses, originally prepared for the Fund for the Republic. Of the introductions that Rovere wrote, the one for Inquest: The Warren Commission and the Establishment of Truth, by Edward Jay Epstein, is the most fully documented. It consists of drafts of the introduction, a draft of the book with Rovere's suggestions for changes, correspondence with prominent individuals, and reviews and publicity. Rovere's other introductions are represented in draft form for The Orwell Reader, 1956; The Committee: The Extraordinary Career of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, by Walter Goodman, 1967; and, with S.J. Perelman, the 1968 reissue of the 1897 Sears, Roebuck Catalogue. Rovere's unpublished writings include an article on the Communist Party; a review of Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s Age of Jackson for Common Sense, 1946; an article on human resources commissioned by the White House representatives at the World's Fair, 1963; an article on the White House for the National Parks Service, 1966; and a draft of an article on John F. Kennedy, circa 1965. These are followed by a notebook containing drafts of articles and other writings by Rovere from the 1960s. The SUBJECT FILE is arranged alphabetically and contains correspondence, reports, drafts, minutes, a speech, a script, notes, and related material. Two of the more significant files are those for the American Committee for Cultural Freedom, 1952-1955; and the 1944 presidential campaign of Thomas Dewey. The former has correspondence, minutes, a speech by Rovere, and miscellany. They document Rovere's role in the organization, mostly as a member of the executive committee, and his relations with other prominent members, e.g. Babette Deutsch, James T. Farrell, Sidney Hook, and Lionel Trilling. Much of this material concerns Joseph McCarthy. The Dewey file has a lengthy report prepared for Press Research Inc., 1944, on Thomas Dewey. Only later did Rovere find that it had actually been commissioned by the Democratic National Committee and the Political Action Committee of the Congress of Industrial Organizations. There is a note of explanation about the report, written in 1966, and related material. The New Yorker file has a draft memoir (much of which appears in Arrivals and Departures) concerning Harold Ross, founding editor of The New Yorker, and memos from Ross to Rovere. It also has correspondence, notes, and related material regarding an article by Tom Wolfe of the New York Herald-Tribune critical of Ross' successor, William Shawn. A printer's copy of Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s A Thousand Days, with the author's corrections, follows a restricted note on the book by Schlesinger. The subject files also cover other topics such as Rovere's participation in the African tour of U.S. Undersecretary of State Nicholas deB. Katzenbach, 1967, with a file of letters to Eleanor Rovere; Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign, 1964; John F. Kennedy's health; Joseph McCarthy, with a script of Point of Order for which Rovere served as editorial consultant; Murder Incorporated, with notes and other material on Sidney Hillman and Louis (Lepke) Buchalter; the Peace Corps in Kenya, 1966, with Rovere's report to the Peace Corps' Washington headquarters about the volunteers in Kenya; the selection of Harry Truman for Vice President in 1944, with a first draft of a chapter relating to that decision from James F. Byrnes' All in One Lifetime (1958); and a restricted folder of correspondence and notes regarding Eric Goldman's tenure as a special consultant to Lyndon Johnson, 1964-1965, including notes on a conversation with Lyndon Johnson in October 1964. The balance of the files consists of material by individuals other than Rovere, accompanied by Rovere's notes for each: an unpublished manuscript on Latvian history by a friend, Peter Dubovics, circa 1950; a draft of an article by Richard Goodwin, which Rovere helped the author publish in The New Yorker, 1966; and a file on Franklin D. Roosevelt which contains drafts of “That Was Roosevelt” by Joseph Lash, for publication in The New Yorker, and research notes of an uncertain origin. The CARD INDEX is an incomplete record of Rovere's speeches, radio broadcasts, and writings, 1936-1960. It is divided into eight parts. That portion labelled “speeches” covers the period 1952 to 1956 and also includes some of Rovere's radio presentations. Indexed by subject, the card entries contain title, location, date, and the amounts paid for each speech or radio broadcast. If a speech was later reprinted in a periodical, that fact is noted; if the presentation was delivered over radio, the other participants are listed. The seven other parts are indexes to Rovere's writings. The first is a subject index of articles for a variety of periodicals, 1936-1960. There are separate indexes for articles in The (London) Spectator and for Rovere's “Letter from Washington” in The New Yorker. The Spectator index is arranged in chronological order, 1954-1958. There are two indexes for the “Letter from Washington,” 1948-1960: the first is a chronological listing with a precis for each article; the second is by subject. There are also separate indexes for book reviews, including those broadcast by radio, 1936-1959; for letters to periodicals and for pamphlets, 1936-1940; and for editorials, 1936-1949, in The Bardian, The New Masses, The Nation, and The New Yorker. Citation of Rovere's writings usually includes the title of his work, co-authors, publisher, date, and payment; it also indicates whether a pseudonym was employed and if the work was later reprinted. The Rovere Papers contain correspondence from a great number of prominent individuals. Correspondence with Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Granville Hicks, Irving Kristol, and Frederick Lewis Allen is extensive and often found in several parts of the collection. See the appended name index for other prominent correspondents.
