	Annenberg, Walter
		Annenberg and his aide, Merrill Panitt (who would go on to become TV Guide' s editorial director), realized that in order achieve the circulation necessary to make their publication a truly mass medium, they needed to go beyond the fan magazine approach that had been typical of most earlier television and radio periodicals.

	Books & Reading: Book Reviews
		Walter's worship of maternal figures (he calls his wife "Mother" and addressed his own mother as "dearest Celestial") borders on the comic.
		As a father, Walter was a failure (his only son committed suicide at 22, and his daughter's marriage was destroyed by addiction); as a diplomat, he was largely a ceremonial figurehead, little more than the American host with the most.
		Perhaps, in spite of all his professional achievement and personal courage, Walter Annenberg may be destined to always remain his father's son: still seeking to redeem the family name, still desperately struggling to make good.
