...found a new way to campaign: "He made a little history. Appearing on a CBS television program, he proved himself the best campaigner yet on the newest communications medium to reach into the U.S. home. His big, square-cut Scandinavian face was etched handsomely on the screen." Editor Henry Luce seemed rather partial to General Dwight Eisenhower, despite Ike's refusal to run; TIME called him "the people's first choice" and lauded his firm stance against the G.O.P.'s isolationist wing. (A few weeks later, TIME reported that many wanted him as the Democratic nominee over Harry Truman...
Sylvia Jukes Morris, now working on the second volume of her superb biography of Clare Boothe Luce, proceeded with the project for years before she discovered that Clare Luce had lied elaborately about her earlier life. Morris virtually had to start over again; her first Luce volume, "Rage for Fame," took 15 years to complete...
...often the case with Boys' Shakespearean counterpart, the Dromio twins easily walk off with the show. Their long-suffering, high energy bawdiness clearly sets the pace for the rest of the production. Luce (i.e., Mrs. Dromio of Ephesus), played by Susan Long '02, shares two of the most enjoyable comic duets of the show, "What Can You Do with a Man?" and "He and She."

In the prospectus for the original LIFE, commissioned by Henry Luce, its mission was defined as: "To see life; to see the world; to eyewitness great events; to watch the faces of the poor and the gestures of the proud...to see and be amazed; to see and be instructed." All of us here value that great mission of LIFE...
...process, Levin has made an amount of money that might be considered excessive. (TIME founder Henry Luce liked to say that the profit motive, while "useful" was "not noble.") In 1998, Levin pocketed more than $250 million, including options--nailing in one year roughly twice what Luce was worth when he died in 1967. In Levin's mind, it is simply a case of high risk, high reward. And though Time Warner shares have had a bumpy ride, they've outgained the Dow--412% to 236%--since Levin took over...
