Walt Carmon

Walt Carmon (1894-1968) was a magazine editor and writer best known for his years as managing editor of the Communist magazine the New Masses from 1929 to 1932. He also worked for a number of other magazines in smaller roles, which contributed to his becoming something of a frontman for the Midwestern radicals.

Biography

Early Years

Walt Carmon was born in New Jersey, played professional baseball in the midwest, and “spent time in Mexico with [New Masses founder and editor] Mike Gold during World War I” prior to entering the magazine world. He “worked for the Labor Defender (the publication of the Party-led International Labor Defense) and also assisted as circulation manager of the Daily Worker,” on which limited credentials (and a reputation as a midwestern radical) he was hired as managing editor at the New Masses and made the move from Chicago to New York.

New Masses Years

Walt Carmon became managing editor for the Communist Party USA-affiliated New Masses in 1929. He was brought on, in part, due to the financial issues the magazine had been dealing with since its inception in 1926. To help confront this problem, he introduced New Masses masquerade balls, held in the fall and the spring. Founder and (since 1928) sole editor Mike Gold’s name remained on the masthead as “editor,” but Carmon was effectively running the magazine, albeit “haphazard[ly].” Gold would show up to the office with less frequency as the Carmon years progressed, but Carmon’s desk contained a drawer filled with “the scented love letters that poured in for Mike Gold.”

Walter "Walt" Lloyd is a fictional character portrayed by Malcolm David Kelley in the American ABC television series Lost. The series follows the lives of over forty survivors of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. Walt is introduced in the pilot episode as one of the survivors aboard the plane, which crashes onto the island where most of the programme takes place. He is the 10-year-old son of Michael Dawson (played by Harold Perrineau).

Walt appears in thirty episodes of Lost; 27 in seasons one and two as a series regular, and three more episodes as a guest star. He also features in the Lost epilogue "The New Man in Charge". Throughout the series, he is the only child main character. Initially, Walt and Michael have a dysfunctional father-son relationship, causing Walt to form friendships with other survivors, such as Locke and Sun. Walt leaves the island on a raft with Michael and two other survivors during the episode "Exodus", but is kidnapped by a group of hostile island inhabitants known as the Others. Walt is then released by the Others in the episode "Live Together, Die Alone", who claim that he was "more than [they] could handle", and he and Michael leave the island at the end of season two.
