A Skeptic Among Scholars: August Fruge on University Publishing
Who is Henry Luce? You might not be familiar with his name, but you probably picked up one of his magazines in your lifetime. Henry Luce is known as the publisher of Time, Fortune, Life and Sports Illustrated. I have subscriptions to both Time and Fortune.
Henry Luce was a lonely individual. He was shuttled to Chinese , English and American boarding schools. From the boarding schools, Luce attended Yale University. He rarely saw his family. However, he met one good friend
Briton Hadden
Hadden and Luce dreamed of starting a news magazine. This magazine would be a weekly magazine that would present readable and short articles on what happened over the last week in news, books arts, and sports. Hadden and Luce didn't have writers for their first edition, they used rewritten articles from The New York Times. Obviously, this changed as Time grew.
His magazines were very popular and reached millions of Americans. With this readership, Luce was able to express his opinions. He used Time and Life to politicize his views: that of a conservative Republican. (Urrrrrgh) He tried to push his choice of presidents, views on war and life in America on his readers.
This book is very interesting and detailed. At one point the book tells of his impotence with his second wife. Really? However the book does provide very interesting information on such icons as Time and Life magazines.
