Henry Robinson Luce

Henry Luce graduated from Yale University in 1920 and went on to become perhaps the most influential magazine publisher in the United States since S.S. McClure. Luce founded Time magazine with Briton Hadden as business manager, but after the latter's sudden death in 1929, Luce took over his position and eventually became the owner of Time, Inc., Fortune, Life, and Sports Illustrated. With control over all of those magazines, he could direct his views to nearly every part of the nation. Believing in Republicanism, anticommunism, and internationalism, he pressed his beliefs on the magazines' writing staffs and compelled them to express his personal views in their articles. At one point, he ran five cover stories on Benito Mussolini, to promote Fascism.
