Horkheimer repeatedly vetoed junior members’ introductions and essays to shield the Institute’s orthodoxy.

Evidence

But Horkheimer stuck to his position. Students and Politics was not published in the series Frankfurt Contributions to Sociology', and not even by the same publisher, the Europäischer Verlagsanstalt. Habermas's introduction thus suffered the same fate as Benjamin's introductory section to The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction’. Significant publications were reserved for `the responsible figures’. If the latter never got round to writing themso much the better. Then nothing could go wrong. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 583
