German-American political scientist (1906-1975) who characterized totalitarianism. Self-contained air mail letter, in German, to Adelbert Reif. In part (translated): “The New York Review of Books has accepted the English version of an interview with a few abridgements (matters concerning only Germany). The translation is finished, and the only difficulty that remains is to convince the publisher Klaus Piper to enter negotiations with Harcourt Brace about the text.” Punch holes to left edge, intersecting folds, and a bit of mild toning, otherwise fine condition.
