...paranoid and unscrupulous gun-toting publisher. Loeb's well-known alliance with Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters, stemming from financing he received from the union's "Pension Fund", is reviewed in detail, as are his campaigns of villification against the University of New Hampshire, the Kennedy family, Muskie, McGovern, Eugene McCarthy, ad infinitum.
