Adorno let a preface dispute block the Neumann essay collection.

Evidence

The planned publication of a collection of his essays in the Frankfurt Contributions to Sociology' failed to materialize only’ because disagreements arose over its preface between Adorno and Marcuse. Adorno’s view was that a Neumann volume which had a preface by Marcuse instead of Adorno himself would have no relation to the Institute. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 495
