Two page ALS from Nathan Glazer to David Riesman dated June 26, 1956. Glazer discusses the re-editing of Faces in the Crowd, cutting pages 567-678 wherein "Three Graduate Students" are discussed. "But almost everywhere else we run into problems," he continues, pointing out the difficulties in cutting more pages. 2. Two page signed typed letter from Dr. Robert S. Weiss at The Laboratory of Community Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School to Riesman at the Dept. of Social Relations, Harvard University, dated March 9,1967. Weiss has included a ten page essay with one page of footnotes, "Modern Industrialism and the Future of Race Relations" by H.M. Brotz for Reissman to review. Weiss outlines his many problems with it, ending with "I don't see what can be done with the paper. What do you think?" 3. Typed, unsigned single page copy of a letter from Riesman to Robert Spitzer, M.D. dated December 3, 1958. Riesman asks about a pseudonymous rebellious student undergoing Reichian analysis profiled in Faces in the Crowd, "Henry Friend": "'Henry Friend' has been on my mind a great deal and only the other day I was thinking of him and wondered what had become of him. It is very good of you to offer to give me a follow-up and I would appreciate it enormously." Stapled to this letter is an undated TLS from Spitzer asking if Riesman would like a follow up on Friend. This is humorous because Spitzer was actually Friend, as he would later reveal. He would go on to have a distinguished career in psychiatric administration and contribute to the DSM-III.
