| − | Spender was an editor of Encounter from 1953 until his resignation in 1967. {{ref|1}} The cause of Spender's resignation was the revelation in 1967 of the covert [[CIA]] funding of the magazine, of which he had been unaware. This caused a scandal among European and American intellectuals, and has, ever since, somewhat overshadowed the magazine's literary content. {{ref|2}}

| − | ''Encounter'' celebrated its greatest years in terms of readership and influence under [[Melvin J. Lasky]], who succeeded Kristol in 1958, and would serve as the main editor until the magazine closed its doors. Other editors in this period included [[Frank Kermode]] and [[D. J. Enright]]. {{ref|3}}
