Abstract:
Papers of an award-winning producer of investigative documentaries for CBS Reports. Of the three programs represented, coverage of “Abortion and the Law” is best. Present are a broadcast script, unedited tape transcripts of interviews with physicians and women who had illegal abortions, research material, photographs, and a posthumous book completed by Lowe's wife Harriett Van Horne based on the program. “Harvest of Shame,” which concerned the plight of migrant farm workers and which is considered a classic of the genre, is represented by two tape transcripts, a broadcast script, and 16 photographs taken during filming. For “Murder and the Right to Bear Arms,” there is only a final script.
