Podcast appearances and mentions of Clare Boothe Luce

An interview with investigative journalist Gardiner Harris regarding his newly released exposé No More Tears that unpacks Johnson & Johnson's white collar criminality, murderous corporate malfeasance, and myriad coverup conspiracies that have left millions dead.Support the show by subscribing to the PPM Patreon and gain access to a bonus, solo ep that explores Gardiner's father's fascinating career as a bureau chief at Time Inc. and protege of spooky, anticommunist publisher Henry Luce (a mini-primer on Luce's myriad ties to intelligence, Cuban paramilitaries, Gladio via his wife Clare Boothe Luce, and the JFK assassination):patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping***One day in 2004, Gardiner Harris, a pharmaceutical reporter for The New York Times, was early for a flight and sat down at an airport bar. He struck up a conversation with the woman on the barstool next to him, who happened to be a drug sales rep for Johnson & Johnson. Her horrific story about unethical sales practices and the devastating impact they'd had on her family fundamentally changed the nature of how Harris would cover the company—and the entire pharmaceutical industry. His subsequent investigations and ongoing research since that very first conversation led to this book—a blistering exposé of a trusted American institution and the largest healthcare conglomerate in the world.Harris takes us light-years away from the company's image as the child-friendly “baby company” as he uncovers reams of evidence showing decades of deceitful and dangerous corporate practices that have threatened the lives of millions. He covers multiple disasters: lies and cover-ups regarding the link of Johnson's Baby Powder to cancer, the surprising dangers of Tylenol, a criminal campaign to sell antipsychotics that have cost countless lives, a popular drug used to support cancer patients that actually increases the risk that cancer tumors will grow, and deceptive marketing that accelerated opioid addictions through their product Duragesic (fentanyl) that rival even those of the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma.Filled with shocking and infuriating but utterly necessary revelations, No More Tears is a landmark work of investigative journalism that lays bare the deeply rooted corruption behind the image of babies bathing with a smile.***Songs:| The Chemical Brothers - "The Pills Won't Help You Now" || Spiritualized - "Medication" |

2/17/25 - Cheryl C. D. Hughes holds a Ph.D. in historical theology from Durham University in England. Her books include Katharine Drexel: The Riches-to-Rags Story of an American Catholic Saint (2014) and Crossing Boundaries and Confounding Identity: Chinese Women in Literature, Art, and Film (2023). Venerable Fulton J. Sheen was one of the greatest spiritual leaders and entertainers in America's tumultuous twentieth century. His television shows, for which he eventually won an Emmy Award, reached millions of viewers, and in the 1950s and ‘60s, “Fulton Sheen” was a household name. But his greatest gift was in finding lost sheep. Through his thought, wit, and compassion, many thousands of people likely entered the Church, from all walks of life. Among them were jazz legend Ada “Bricktop” Smith, journalist Heywood Broun, Communist activist Louis Budenz, U.S. Congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce, spy Elizabeth Bentley, composer Fritz Kreisler, Communist Bella Dodd, and Hollywood starlet Virginia Mayo. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen: Convert Maker lets readers inhabit the postwar America where Bishop Fulton Sheen thrived in order to reveal what made him such a magnetic figure in his own era. It peers into the complex lives of the celebrities and fallen stars who saw in the warm, brilliant bishop a sign of God's grace, and it offers a study in the inner dynamics of conversion.

In the mid-twentieth century, certain private religious choices became lightning rods for public outrage and debate. In talking about “public confessions,” Dr. Rebecca Davis reveals some of the controversial religious conversions that shaped modern America. She explains why the new faiths of notable figures, including Clare Boothe Luce and Muhammad Ali, riveted American public opinion. Unconventional religious choices charted new ways of declaring an "authentic" identity amid escalating Cold War fears of brainwashing and coercion.

The Women (1939) ​ The Women is a 1939 American comedy-drama film directed by George Cukor. The film is based on Clare Boothe Luce's 1936 play of the same name, and was adapted for the screen by Anita Loos and Jane Murfin, who had to make the film acceptable for the Production Code for it to be released.  The film stars Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard, Joan Fontaine, Lucile Watson, Mary Boland, Florence Nash, and Virginia Grey. Marjorie Main and Phyllis Povah also appear, reprising their stage roles from the play. Ruth Hussey, Virginia Weidler, Butterfly McQueen, and Hedda Hopper also appear in smaller roles. Fontaine was the last surviving actress with a credited role in the film; she died in 2013. It is also important to note that even the animals and pets are all female.  The film continued the play's all-female tradition—the entire cast of more than 130 speaking roles was female. Set in the glamorous Manhattan apartments of high society evoked by Cedric Gibbons, and in Reno, Nevada, where they obtain their divorces, it presents an acidic commentary on the pampered lives and power struggles of various rich, bored wives and other women they come into contact with.  Filmed in black and white, it includes a six-minute fashion parade filmed in Technicolor, featuring Adrian's most outré designs; often cut in modern screenings, it has been restored by Turner Classic Movies. On DVD, the original black-and-white fashion show, which is a different take, is available for the first time. ​ The Opposite Sex (1956)   The Opposite Sex is a 1956 American musical romantic comedy film shot in Metrocolor and CinemaScope.[3][4] The film was directed by David Miller and stars June Allyson, Joan Collins, Dolores Gray, Ann Sheridan, and Ann Miller, with Leslie Nielsen, Jeff Richards, Agnes Moorehead, Charlotte Greenwood, Joan Blondell, and Sam Levene. ​ The Opposite Sex is a remake of the 1939 comedy film The Women. Both films are based on Clare Boothe Luce's original 1936 play. ​ Unlike the 1936 play and the 1939 film adaptation, The Opposite Sex includes musical numbers and features male actors who portray the husbands and boyfriends, whose characters were only referred to in the previous film and stage versions.[6] This alters the structure and tone of the base storyline significantly.   Opening Credits; Introduction (.37); Background History (42.13);The Women (1939) Film Trailer (44.51); The Original (48.16); Let's Rate (1:43.07); Amazing Design (1:59.54); Introducing a Remake (2:01.07); The Opposite Sex (1956) Film Trailer (2:01.41); The Remake (2:05.22); How Many Stars (2:44.07); End Credits (2:58.26); Closing Credits (3:00.39)   Opening Credits– Epidemic Sound – copyright 2021.

Guest Paul Michael Garrison joins me this week as we discuss The Women by Clare Boothe Luce.

Philip Nash's book Clare Boothe Luce: American Renaissance Woman (Routledge, 2022) is a concise and highly readable political biography that examines the life of one of the most accomplished American women of the 20th century. Wife and mother, author, editor, playwright, political activist, war journalist, Congresswoman, ambassador, pundit, and feminist—Luce did it all. Carefully placing Luce in a series of shifting historical contexts, this book offers the reader an insight into mid-century American political, cultural, gender, and foreign relations history. Eleven primary sources follow the text, including excerpts from Luce's diary, letters, speeches, and published works, as well as a TV talk-show appearance and a critic's diary entry describing an evening with her, helping readers to understand her fascinating life. Together, the narrative and documents afford readers a brief yet in-depth look at Luce with all her complications: glamorous intellectual, acid-tongued diplomat, and feminist conservative, she was a deeply flawed high-achiever who repeatedly challenged the entrenched sexism of her age to become a significant actor in the rise of the “American Century.” Addressing the neglect suffered by women in foreign relations history, this will be of interest to students and scholars of US foreign relations, 20th-century US history, and US women's history.

During his lifetime, Buckminster Fuller was hailed as one of the greatest geniuses of the twentieth century. As the architectural designer and futurist best known for the geodesic dome, he enthralled a vast popular audience, inspired devotion from both the counterculture and the establishment, and was praised as a modern Leonardo da Vinci. To his admirers, he exemplified what one man could accomplish by approaching urgent design problems using a radically unconventional set of strategies, which he based on a mystical conception of the universe's geometry. His views on sustainability, as embodied in the image of Spaceship Earth, convinced him that it was possible to provide for all humanity through the efficient use of planetary resources. From Epcot Center to the molecule named in his honor as the buckyball, Fuller's legacy endures to this day, and his belief in the transformative potential of technology profoundly influenced the founders of Silicon Valley.Inventor of the Future is the first authoritative biography to cover all aspects of Fuller's career. Drawing on meticulous research, dozens of interviews, and thousands of unpublished documents, Nevala-Lee has produced a riveting portrait that transcends the myth of Fuller as an otherworldly generalist. It reconstructs the true origins of his most famous inventions, including the Dymaxion Car, the Wichita House, and the dome itself; his fraught relationships with his students and collaborators; his interactions with Frank Lloyd Wright, Isamu Noguchi, Clare Boothe Luce, John Cage, Steve Jobs, and many others; and his tumultuous private life, in which his determination to succeed on his own terms came at an immense personal cost. In an era of accelerating change, Fuller's example remains enormously relevant, and his lessons for designers, activists, and innovators are as powerful and essential as ever. Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://wellingtonsquarebooks.indiecommerce.com/book/9780062947222

Coco Chanel had a famous quote stating, “Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance." She also said that “The best things in life are free, the second-best really expensive”. This goes hand in hand with the saying “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” And, even though, this quote was penned by Clare Boothe Luce and not Leonardo da Vinci as it is widely known, what I do know is that really good “simple” is really hard to do. (Yes, you can quote me on this!) Simplicity does not equate to low quality or inferiority. Nor does luxury always represent the most expensive. It is the knowledge of what should be that differentiates good taste and… not so much. We all know the sayings: “Less is more”, and “Keep it Simple” and the point is that yes, simple luxury is re-thinking what makes us happy, and loving the luxury of simple things is not only healthy but also the way to a happier life. In the world of entertaining at home, a luxurious meal is not necessarily an expensive one. A simple dish of the most delicious pasta may be simple but, homemade, well cooked, just rightly dressed, and beautifully served is luxury onto its self. Absolutely. And it is definitely a luxury for me. As are ripe summer tomatoes, juicy figs, and that perfect crisp apple. The luxury of the meal is in the care that has been taken to prepare it, fewer better ingredients are always more luxurious than a lot of something mediocre. When I first lived in Palm Beach, gosh a million years ago, really fancy friends would bring the food for their weekends in their private planes. Local grocery shopping was very limited at the time, and so, their luxury was having New York groceries. Could they have survived the weekend without microgreens? Possibly. Did they want to? No. To me, simple luxury is an ironed white linen napkin. It is getting into a well-made bed, it is an impromptu afternoon with friends. Luxury is time spent with my sisters, and being able to take walks in this beautiful city that I live in. Luxury is a simple meal of fresh garden vegetables under a shady pergola and any dish that involves eggs and potatoes. The pleasure of looking at polished silver and picking flowers from my garden. And yes, an air conditioner and a tv in the bedroom. We all have our lists, right? Simple luxury at home is a well-curated and edited room that is comfortable and pleasant to be in; jarring edges spoil the sense of serenity and wellbeing. When I think about luxury, the word that comes to mind is authenticity. What is real and authentic is also… simple. It is not about more, it is really about less but better.(You can quote me on this too!)Many years ago, when a corner at home didn't look quite right, my immediate reaction was to add more pillows. Masses of pillows would normally cover any defect. What I have learned now is that pillows may hide the issue but the ugly sofa is still ugly. The same goes for life, I learned that one has to get to the essence of the problem, not just cover it with fluff. Why is this anecdote in this story you ask? Well, because, editing and curating and removing and restoring are all part of finding the simple luxuries both at home and in our personal lives. At the table, think about white linens, white porcelain plates, fine crystal, horn cutlery, and silver candlesticks with long ivory tapered candles. Simple? Yes. Luxurious? Absolutely. Expensive? Most likely. Curating and editing the spaces we live in is an exercise in restrain. I love well-lived houses with layers and patina. Objects and decor of travel mementos and favorite pieces that bring good memories and the feeling of home. Our homes, tables, and food represent who we are, that creativity that we produce every day is the image of our heart and soul. Simplicity is not about soul-less rooms or unadorned tables, it is about removing excess and clutter; it is about the luxury of less. (You can quote me on this too!) It is about finding the true essence of what makes a simple house a home, simple food a feast, and any day a pleasure. Luxury is personal, individual, and subjective. What is a luxury to me, maybe the norm for you, what is simple for me, can be a luxury for you. Once basics are covered, luxury becomes aspirational and extraordinary, not because of expense but because of uniqueness. So, enjoy the basics, those simple things that are often taken for granted.

Personal reinvention is a core part of the human condition. Yet in the mid-twentieth century, certain private religious choices became lightning rods for public outrage and debate. Rebecca L. Davis's book Public Confessions: The Religious Conversions That Changed American Politics (UNC Press, 2021) reveals the controversial religious conversions that shaped modern America. Rebecca L. Davis explains why the new faiths of notable figures including Clare Boothe Luce, Whittaker Chambers, Sammy Davis Jr., Marilyn Monroe, Muhammad Ali, Chuck Colson, and others riveted the American public. Unconventional religious choices charted new ways of declaring an authentic identity amid escalating Cold War fears of brainwashing and coercion. Facing pressure to celebrate a specific vision of Americanism, these converts variously attracted and repelled members of the American public. Whether the act of changing religions was viewed as selfish, reckless, or even unpatriotic, it provoked controversies that ultimately transformed American politics. Public Confessions takes intimate history to its widest relevance, and in so doing, makes you see yourself in both the private and public stories it tells.

Have you ever had the thought "I just wish there was a movie from the 1930's that was written by women, featured only women, displayed excellent physical comedy performed by women, but was entirely about men and was kind of misogynistic"? Then the film The Women (1939) is for you! Check out the duality of Clare Boothe Luce's hit that manages to be both feminist and sexist at the same time (just like the real life playwright herself) and revel in the spot-on comedic performances from Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, and Paulette Goddard. If it doesn't make you want to "sharpen your claws" and paint them "jungle red"...we're all okay with that. Host, Sara Greenfield and her guests, Zoe Palko and Brianne Wilson chat about all this and more on this week's episode of Talk Classic To Me. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sara-greenfield/support

If you're a parent looking to raise your daughter with strong conservative values, you may want to listen to Michelle Easton. The president of the Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute, former Education Department appointee by both President Reagan and President Bush, and author of "How to Raise a Conservative Daughter," Easton is the guest this week on "Right Now with Stephen Kent." In their wide-ranging conversation, Easton and Kent discuss whether men and women are truly equal, the transgender movement, why we should embrace daughters who are "tomboys," and how parents can instill strong conservative values in their children.Subscribe to Rightly and check out additional info about their conversation below. ---- Content of This Episode ---- 00:00 Episode Start 00:05 Reflections on the Fourth of July 02:23 Being a girl dad 03:04 Welcome Michelle Easton 04:01 “How to Raise a Conservative Daughter”- a guide for challenging times 05:37 Characteristics of a conservative daughter 08:41 Femininity and tomboys 10:58 Michelle: Men and women are not equal 14:16 Finding your worth 18:15 Conservatism v social media culture 19:35 Boys and girls together – sometimes that’s ok 22:40 These traits are not universal 24:30 Hey kids, let’s talk about socialism 26:50 Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s backyard 28:05 Introduction to Clare Boothe Luce 31:00 Positive news courtesy Matthew McConaughey and Ron Swanson ---- Reading List ---- "How to Raise a Conservative Daughter" by Michelle Easton https://www.regnery.com/9781684512263/how-to-raise-a-conservative-daughter/

Jacqueline Susann's life was more dramatic than any of the novels she wrote. She made her Broadway debut in Clare Boothe Luce's landmark The Women, worked in theatre, as a showgirl, in radio and television for more than twenty years. After she was diagnosed with breast cancer, Jackie wrote for her life, and finally achieved wealth and fame. She wrote each day from 10 to 5 for 18 months. Jackie's media and marketing savvy was instrumental in the success of Valley of the Dolls. Jackie's first love, comedian Joe E. Lewis always told her never go to Hollywood unless they send for you. When they sent for Jackie, she went in style for her Hitchcock moment, a cameo in the screen version of her novel. The production may have been chaos, but the women in the cast agreed on one thing--they all hated director Mark Robson.

If Euripides had helped Clare Boothe Luce to write The Women, Andromache might have been the result, only with more witty ripostes.

In her life, Clare Boothe Luce was a Congresswoman, ambassador, playwright, war correspondent, and advisor to presidents. Tom and Noëlle Crowe tell us how this remarkable woman went from a dissolute socialite to a woman of deep Catholic faith brought about by a personal tragedy that caused her to re-encounter Christ. The post Clare Boothe Luce appeared first on SQPN.com.

"It used to be," soon-to-be secretary of state Madeleine K. Albright said in 1996, "that the only way a woman could truly make her foreign policy views felt was by marrying a diplomat and then pouring tea on an offending ambassador's lap." This world of US diplomacy excluded women for a variety of misguided reasons: they would let their emotions interfere with the task of diplomacy, they were not up to the deadly risks that could arise overseas, and they would be unable to cultivate the social contacts vital to success in the field. The men of the State Department objected but had to admit women, including the first female ambassadors: Ruth Bryan Owen, Florence "Daisy" Harriman, Perle Mesta, Eugenie Anderson, Clare Boothe Luce, and Frances Willis. These were among the most influential women in US foreign relations in their era. In Breaking Protocol: America's First Female Ambassadors, 1933-1964 (University Press of Kentucky, 2020), Philip Nash examines the history of the "Big Six" and how they carved out their rightful place in history. After a chapter capturing the male world of American diplomacy in the early twentieth century, the book devotes one chapter to each of the female ambassadors and delves into a number of topics, including their backgrounds and appointments, the issues they faced while on the job, how they were received by host countries, the complications of protocol, and the press coverage they received, which was paradoxically favorable yet deeply sexist. In an epilogue that also provides an overview of the role of women in modern US diplomacy, Nash reveals how these trailblazers helped pave the way for more gender parity in US foreign relations.

Movie Meltdown - Episode 355 This week we welcome two guest co-hosts, as the stars of Night of the Comet reunite to put together this special episode. Join us as we sit down with Kelli Maroney and Catherine Mary Stewart and discuss not only their classic movie, but also what it's been like to be adopted sisters all these years. Then we settle in for this week's Sofa Theater feature, the 1940 George Cukor film The Philadelphia Story. So come on all you teenage comet zombies, and listen as we mention... a dog with a fez, a time of great affluence and fun, Howard Hughes, scaled down riches, I still believe in the glamour of the business, a lyrical very beautiful take on a sci fi experience, grabbed her by the face, Rage for Fame: The Ascent of Clare Boothe Luce, so much class in our business, that failure niche, those eyelashes cracked me up, it was devastating that I couldn't - like, nobody cared, nobody cared that my life had changed forever, at least have an expression on your face, the greatest thing in the world is watching privileged people enjoy their privileged lives, Spencer Tracy, we're not even the same species, acting is an outlet, box office poison, Jane Fonda, that's what life's about is making connections, there are just some costumes that are impractical for large crowds, or if your outfit requires a wheel barrel and... that's impossible - give me an uzi. Spoiler Alert: Full spoilers for the 1940 movie The Philadelphia Story. So go watch it ahead of time for spoiler-free listening! "...when you went to a movie... you went to escape.

Clare Boothe Luce may be remembered as an equal rights feminist, argues Texas Right to Life Director Elizabeth Graham, yet her brand of feminism — which valued life as the foundation of equality of the sexes — stands in stark contrast to the modern-day feminist cause "that militantly demands the right to kill their children as a condition of their publicly-recognized equality with men." The abortion industry is the mantle of modern-day feminism, and the abortion death toll has risen to the tens of millions. Graham discusses the policy impact of the recently-released videos that exposed Planned Parenthood's selling of baby body parts. Graham's presentation was recorded at the Institute's Texas Women's Summit held in Fort Worth TX in October 2015.
