The various activities of the Franklin Book Programs, an American Cold War cultural diplomacy initiative for the development of indigenous publishing in the developing world and winning hearts and minds have been subject to public and academic query since its foundation in 1952. Reports and surveys of its activities, aims and objectives, and achievements have been featured in both American and non-American press, from The New York Times<\/em>, Publishers Weekly<\/em> to The Pakistan Observer<\/em> and Al-Bilad<\/em>. To exemplify the discourse, I present the story of how Franklin\/New York convinced a young professor to put aside his paper but encouraged and supported the publication of another piece by a graduate student. Almost half a century later, I am asking the-now-retired-but-distinguished professor why did he oblige. This should shed some light on how Franklin\/New York acted as a gatekeeper and promotor of a certain take on its operation.<\/p>\n
