Horkheimer's Grossmann critique

[kellner@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu]

I think Horkheimer's critique of Grossman is published in Max Horkheimer,
Gesammelte Schriften, Band 17 or 18; I don't have them with me here at
UCLA; its a pretty detailed critique which Marcuse indeed admired, as
another letter in the collections states. Cheers, DK
