Raymond Mungo (born 1946) is the author, co-author, or editor of more than a dozen books. He writes about business, economics, and financial matters as well as cultural issues. In the 1960s, he attended Boston University, where he served as a writer on the Boston University News in 1966-67; and where, as a student leader, he spearheaded demonstrations against the Vietnam War. In 1967, Mungo co-founded the Liberation News Service (LNS), an alternative news agency, along with Marshall Bloom.[1][2] LNS split off from College Press Service (CPS) in a political dispute. The founding event was a notably tumultuous meeting that transpired not far from the offices of CPS on Church Street in Washington, D.C.. Mungo descriptively details this event in his book, Famous Long Ago: My Life and Hard Times with the Liberation News Service. In 1968,he moved to Vermont with Verandah Porche and others as part of the Back-to-the-land movement. Mungo continued to write through the 1970s and 1980s; however in 1997 his career path took a different turn. When he wrote Palm Springs Babyon in 1993 he lived in Palm Springs, California. He completed a master's degree in counseling and began working with the severely mentally ill and with AIDS patients in Los Angeles. Mungo visited France in 2000 and briefly considered relocating there.
