NOTES

Persuasion was an independent monthly political magazine founded and edited by Joan Kennedy Taylor from 1964 to 1968.  It began as the newsletter for the Metropolitan Young Republican Club in New York but was transformed by Taylor into a standalone libertarian publication after she established an independent corporation, Persuasion, Inc. These two books contain the issues of the magazine from 1964-1967.
