Something which has always bothered me is how all these huge endowments got taken over by the radical left.

From what I have seen and read, Henry Ford and Andrew Carnegie were pretty conservative yet the Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace are controlled by liberals or even Communists.

I remember Alger Hiss was president of the Carnegie Endowment.

Just how did they gain control of all these organizations?

I understand exactly what you mean. Leaders of industry and the American way.

I don’t know. But I would imagine they did not place proper legal controls over their endowments and foundations to carry out their ideas. Goes back to the old saying: Get it in writing.

Oh

If I remember Yarddog, Ford was an avowed anti communist.
