Matthew, Jonathan,
 
I have these things at least once before:
 
1) Transcripts of 177 EP radio broadcasts, 468 pages covering Oct 2 thru July 26,
1943 were available as early as 1945 a) from the Library of Congress and b) a
little later from the National Archives and Records Service, Washington, DC, for
exactly $93,60.
 
Doob is specialist for psychological warfare and was, later, working/traveling
for the CIA. Mary/The Pound Literary Property Trust asked Doob to re-edit the
speeches in order to get the rights for the Trust. This had become necessary - to
avoid reprinting & quoting (from) the speeches by other authors FOR FREE. The
Trust wanted them to pay for what they quote.
 
2) The 2nd, however more immediate, reason for asking Doob to re-edit the
speeches was the publication of a 1975 book, "Certain Radio Speeeches of Ezra
Pound", edited by William Levy, for Cold Turkey Press, Rotterdam including the
wonderful (??) copyright note: "Copyright c 1975 for Ezra Pound, his heirs and
concubines."
 
3) Doob, as can be proved, held back 58 speeches, and it's pretty likely that he
did so in order manipulate his statistical analysis (pp 417 ff).
