In August I mailed queries to 20 important periodicals around the country offering the right to excerpt a section of the manuscript. Last week I received a letter from an editor at one of the really top magazines in the country saying yes, she wants to see it. She knows who I am, what I do and what I’ve done. She’s not taking a run in the dark. This sort of thing has always fallen through in the past, but that was the past. We'll have to wait and see. But if this particular magazine does print something from Bones, it will cause a sensation.
Bradley R. Smith was born in Los Angeles on February 18, 1930. At 18 he joined the army and in 1951 served with the infantry in Korea where he was twice wounded. After three decades of a variety of professional activities, it suddenly hit him: In 1979 he read a leaflet by Professor Robert Faurisson, "The Problem of the Gas Chambers." Then, Arthur Butz’s The Hoax of the Twentieth Century did it for him. He understood from the beginning that he would address the censorship, the suppression of independent thought, the taboo against publishing and debating revisionist arguments—not the arguments themselves. That has remained his position. In 1989 Smith founded Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) dedicated to defending free speech and free inquiry into the Holocaust question. He handed over CODOH's helm in late 2014, but keeps contributing.

In the previous issue of SR I wrote about how, as part of the Campus Project, I had started putting together a “fax-web” connecting the campus and off campus newspaper editors who have run our ads, printed our opinion pieces, or have run comment on any of it. It was a good idea. It’s getting…
U. The National College Magazine, February 1995 He’s Ad It Again When then-production editor Brian McBrearity walked into Boston College’s student newspaper offices one day in December 1993, he had no idea of the trouble waiting. That morning, The Heights had run a paid advertisement from the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust. In…
To Ms. Madeline Smith, Business Advisor [email protected] The Vidette, the Student Newspaper at Illinois State University Dear Ms. Smith, I am writing on behalf of the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust regarding your e-mail of November 27.

Show me a gas chamber.” It is the mantra of Holocaust deniers. On college campuses, television talk shows and the Internet, “revisionists” point to the absence of gas chambers after World War II as evidence they did not exist. Revisionism in the classroom takes a more subtle form, but it is potentially just as dangerous,…
New York — David Irving started by carefully baiting his hook and casting his line. The bait was taken by St. Martin's Press, but it managed to squirm free at the last minute. It looked for a moment like Mr. Irving would go home with his bucket empty. Then came another nibble. One can only…

Most topics contain much more broad, robust, and elaborate replies than space allows here. Only on rare occasion are thread topics locked, hence most will be open for further response. I…
