From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sol Stern (born 1935) is a senior fellow with the Manhattan Institute and contributing editor at 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.[1]

Sol Stern was born in Haifa, Palestine in 1935, was raised in the Bronx from infancy, and attended the City College of New York, the State University of Iowa, and Berkeley. His departure from radicalism came after New Left attacks on Israel.[2]
