• The Educational Reviewer was founded in 1949 by Lucille Cardin Crain (née Lucille Cardin; 1901–1983), a conservative activist whose primary interest was in – as she stated in 1951 – "rooting out radical influences in American education." In each issue, arch-conservative academicians and writers offered their views of high school and college textbooks as evidence of collectivist content and the like. The publication, for the first three years, was chiefly financed by William F. Buckley, Jr. The Reviewer was published for the Conference of American Small Business Organizations, Committee on Education. The publication's executives included Lucille Cardin Crain, Secretary and Editor-in-chief; George Dudley Hawkins, Sr. (1885–1966), Chairman.

• Who is Mary M. Davison, the Council for Statehood is connected to the Congress of Freedom, Inc. CFS's objective is to eliminate the Council on Foreign Relations, through legislation, if possible, "or by xxxxxxxxxx, if necessary". In other words, Council For Statehood members (aka Freeman) were thought by the FBI to be prime candidates for carrying out assassinations of prominent Americans after a Miami police informant (Willie Augustus Somersett) told Miami PD that such assassinations were discussed at the April 4-6, 1963 Annual Convention of the Congress of Freedom held in New Orleans. [See FBI HQ 157-758, #20; SAC Miami to J. Edgar Hoover.] Davison was the Council's leader.

Davison, in 1939, was sentenced to 30 days in jail in Poughkeepsie for disorderly conduct after picketing at the Ulster County Courthouse in Kingston. She served the full sentence and was released November 5, 1939. While she was in jail, her husband, a paraplegic since the age of 10, died at the Vassar College Hospital. Mrs. Davison, upon release, was assigned to the Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital. She sued two physicians for committing her. She lost. The defendants were Dr. Lester Edwin Sanford (1893–1983), Kingston Health Officer, and Dr. James Andrew Mathers (1894–1959). She alleged that they had maliciously signed papers committing her to the hospital.
