Talk:Clare Boothe Luce

message: This sentence from the original article:  
:"Her husband introduced her to the hallucinogen LSD in the late 1950s." 
is not in any of my source material.  Your source please.  WBardwin 06:31, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: no, not peculiar.  Just wanted to get it right in the article.  WBardwin 06:53, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: She probably drank a lot with him, too<g>. - Nunh-huh 07:05, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The phrasing of the sentence makes it sound as if they were using the drug for recreational purposes when in fact it was for experimental psychiatric purposes. While it is factual I think it should be rephrased to make the intent clearer. Elipongo 18:17, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear WBardwin, Nunh-huh, Elipongo, I added the caveat, based on Elipongo's suggestion and WBardwin's questioning the cite to his own book, and Nunh-huh's cite to an inventory list, to clarify the drug use. Just because you are fiends with Dr. LSD, does not mean you are trippy.  We need a better verifiable source. Geraldshields11 (talk) 20:35, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Recent edit changed Luce's birth month from April to March.  Anyone have a source to confirm that?  Other web pages show April, as ours originally did.  WBardwin 17:36, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: returned birth month to April, until a source can be provided that shows otherwise.  WBardwin 14:48, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  SEE BELOW. Quis separabit? 23:59, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Dear WBardwin and Quis separabit?,  Based on reliable source, which I added to main article, March 10, 1903 is the correct birthday.  Geraldshields11 (talk) 22:04, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Birthday!

message: This sentence is in the article: "Luce's unsettling observations eventually led to changes in British military policy in the Middle East." Observations of what, exactly? What was changed? Was she documenting the torture of prisoners, or the use of bagpipes (possibly related)?  Also, the intro cites her as a social activist, but I don't see anything in the article that seems to support this label. Does it just refer to her championing anti-communism? -Bert 171.159.64.10 02:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear Bert, As of 19 June 2014, another editor address this issue. Dear Scotsman, The bagpipe or torture issue is just a retorical on the part of Bert.  My best regards to both,  Geraldshields11 (talk) 20:44, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  clarifications? 

message: There doesn't seem to be much mention of her prominent activities in the 1960's or early 1970's to keep up U.S. support of Taiwan, and to stave off U.S. recognition for the P.R.C. AnonMoos 13:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear AnonMoos, Please provide a source and text, in addition to the text allready in the article. Thank you in advance.   yet because need more soruces. Geraldshields11 (talk) 20:46, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure why your reaction to this comment was diametrically opposed to your reaction to the Chiang Kai-shek comment below, when they're basically exactly the same thing... AnonMoos (talk) 15:18, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Taiwan

message: I have removed the photo in this article; it depicts actress Clare Luce (1903-1989), not Clare Booth Luce (despite the similarity of names, they are two different women). For a 1932 photo of CBL by Van Vechten, see the Van Vechten images of her stored at the Library of Congress ... http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/S?pp/ils:@FILREQ(@field(SUBJ+@od1(Luce,+Clare+Boothe,--1903-1987+))+@FIELD(COLLID+van)). I have sent an email to the Library of Congress librarian regarding this misidentification of the one image that is not correct in that link.
The librarian got back to me and said, yes, the previously used image was not of CBL but of Claire Luce (note the "i" in the first name) and that "I will send the correction to our cataloging staff for attention. Thank you for contacting us about this oversight." Nice substitution of the new image, however; much better.
::Thank you fellow editor.  Geraldshields11 (talk) 20:50, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Barely a word about Henry in this article. Their marriage isn't mentioned and his name isn't wikilinked. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 20:53, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Obviously has been corrected, but there are other glaring biographical omissions! (Will post about this above in the section on article classification.) --gobears87 (talk) 10:32, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Corrected already; has a whole subsection.   Geraldshields11 (talk) 20:51, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

message: The Sunday Times (London) claims Clare Boothe Luce had a torrid wartime affair with children books' author Roald Dahl.  http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/article4641287.ece  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.169.236.88 (talk) 00:44, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Allegations of affair with Roald Dahl 

message: I added this line:
In 1944 she also wrote for the monthly magazine Prevent World War III.
It is such a weird thing for a Congresswoman to do so I though it was notable enough, it's not your ordinary magazine. I didn't add a cite, but if you check this link you can find her mentioned with item 7838.--Stor stark7 Speak 04:37, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear Stor stark7 , I followed the link you provided and could not find the book using the search tool. Pleade provide a more specific link.  yet. Geraldshields11 (talk) 21:02, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Magazine articles 

message: The article doesn't do much to make clear her role as a very enthusiastic consistent long-term cheerleader for Chiang Kai-shek.  Certainly by the early 1970s, when USA-PRC relations were thawing, many Americans would have known her more for that than for anything  else... AnonMoos (talk) 09:39, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear AnonMoos , , Luce's activities are well documented in the article. Please provide another reference for additional text.   Geraldshields11 (talk) 21:05, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure what you mean -- the only mentions of Chiang Kai-shek in the article refer to the 1940s, and there's no mention of Republic of China or Taiwan (see my 2007 comment above, which I apparently forgot about when I made my 2011 comment).  This should all logically go into the "Political life after office" section, since it was her most publicly prominent activity during much of that period.... AnonMoos (talk) 15:15, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

message: The biography mentions that her profile of General MacArthur was on the newsstands the day after the Japanese attact.While probably technically accurate, it implies the magazine was distributed on the 8th.It would be more accurate to say it as on the newsstands and in the homes when Japan attacked. The date on a magazine’s cover in not the date A magazine is distributed, it is usually a date sometime after the publication. I do not know the dating system at Life in 1941, but it could be discovered. It’s more significant a coincidence if the issue was distributed before Dec. 7. Wis2fan (talk) 04:28, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
