COMMENTS: 
"Encounter was a literary magazine, founded in 1953 by poet Stephen Spender and early neoconservative author, Irving Kristol. The magazine ceased publication in 1990. Published in the United Kingdom, it was a largely Anglo-American intellectual and cultural journal.
Spender served as literary editor until 1967, when he resigned due to the revelation that year of the covert CIA funding of the magazine, of which he had heard rumors, but had not been able to confirm. Thomas W. Braden, who headed CIA IOD's operations between 1951 to 1954, said that the money for the magazine "came from CIA, and few outside the CIA knew about it. We had placed one agent in a Europe-based organization of intellectuals called the Congress for Cultural Freedom"- wiki. Contents include: R.H.S.
