Sol Stern

Sol Stern (born 1935) is a senior fellow with the conservative Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor to its quarterly magazine "City Journal".

Stern began his career with the radical magazine "Ramparts". In 1967, he contributed the article " A Short Account of International Student Politics and the Cold War with Particular Reference to the NSA, CIA, etc." to the magazine. It included the allegation that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had supported the National Student Association, ties which later were confirmed by the organization itself. The CIA funded overseas' projects to the tune of $3.3 million, and recruited NSA staff members for intelligence work.
