[edit] Expansion

Henry Luce is a publishing genuis, there at least 2 full scale biographies available, which I haven't read, but I'm sure someone here has, and to those of you expand this article, and wikify it. 75pickup (talk · contribs)

One such biography can be seen on PBS's American Masters series (just caught the end of it; see details at: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/database/luce_h.html ) Michael (talk|contrib) 09:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

This link: Luce Center for American Art at the Brooklyn Museum - Visable Storage and Study Center was added to the article by the site owner. In keeping with our guidelines could regular editors of this article check out the link and add it back if you think it appropriate. Thanks. -- Siobhan Hansa 00:09, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blue Network Note

Actually, Time Inc. did buy a minority stake in the Blue Network shortly after it was sold by RCA to Edward J. Noble. It was a 12.5% stake. Time sold the minority share back a few years later. For further details, see Blue Network Eric O. Costello 21:00, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A favor to "the Beaver"?

Has someone been watching "Leave it to Beaver" too often of late? Or is this actually an encyclopedia-worthy expression for Lord Beaverbrook? --Christofurio 01:27, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

"As a favor to the Beaver, TIME in 1956 found a minor job in its picture department for Lady Jeanne."

[edit] Mepkin Abbey

Henry and Clare Booth Luce, in 1936, bought Mepkin Plantation, a 3200 acre rice plantation founded in 1681 near Charleston, S.C. They subsequently gave the plantation to the Cistercian (Trappist) order. The order established an abbey there, calling it Mepkin Abbey, and it is still in business today. Moreover, Mr and Mrs Luce are buried in a rose garden there. There must be a fascinating story behind these facts, and it ought to be told, at least briefly, in this article. Unfortunately I am not the person to tell it. All I know about the matter is that I have seen the rose garden, and the graves. Jm546 (talk) 03:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
