Editing Bread Loaf Writers' Conference (section)

==Faculty==
In the 1960s the conference director was [[John Ciardi]], who lost the support of the executives (particularly that of assistant director Paul Cubeta, who agitated strongly for increased salaries). Cubeta was replaced by Edward A. "Sandy" Martin in 1965. Dissent from the participants continued to grow over the next few years as pressure increased to abandon the principles of earned hierarchy and adopt more egalitarian structures and behaviours.<ref>Edward M.
