Institute members worked under Horkheimer’s vacillation while stranded between coasts.

Evidence

The Columbia business dragged on. Marcuse only managed to work on his article sporadically, since he was expecting just a short stay in New York, was sometimes spending the nights on a sofa at the Institute, and was constantly under pressure from a vacillating Horkheimer either to return to the west coast or else to stay on in New York. At Pollock’s request, he gave a lecture on `State and Individual under National Socialism’ in the Institute’s lecture series at the Extension Division of Columbia University. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 319
