  William Loeb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Loeb ([b.1905]] - September 14, 1981]]) was publisher of the Union Leader newspaper in Manchester, New Hampshire for more than three decades up until his death.
Loeb is best remembered nationally for his alleged role in attacking Edmund Muskie through the newspaper via what is known locally as the Canuck Letter, derailing the Maine senator's 1972 presidential bid.
Loeb's father, William, had been the private secretary of President Theodore Roosevelt, since Roosevelt's days in New York, before becoming president.

 New Hampshire Union Leader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The paper is best known for the conservative political opinions of its late publisher, William Loeb, and his wife, Elizabeth Scripps "Nackey" Loeb.
Famously, the paper helped defeat Maine Senator Edmund Muskie in his 1972 bid for the presidency by attacking Muskie's wife, Jane, in editorials, leading him to tearfully defend her in a press conference that some say ruined his image in the state.
Loeb changed Manchester Union Leader to The Union Leader in the mid-1970s to emphasize the fact that it is the only statewide newspaper in New Hampshire.

LOEB: Well, he was for quite a while, I know, a trustee at Dartmouth, and he was from New Hampshire, and he had gone in and convinced the President the other way.
LOEB: Oh, I met him for the first time, at the meeting we held, a meeting for the Middle States shortly after the ADA was formed.
Loeb is no relationship of mine, and is on the far right, and he suggested that "Dear Harry listen to America's greatest Senator next Saturday night, who would expose another one of his cronies as a commie stooge." And somehow, it got around that maybe I was the person who was about to be attacked.

To most, Bill Loeb was one of two highly contradictory characters - either a power-driven demagogue or a kind-hearted family man. But few would dare to refer to him - or even remember him - as simply being human.
Loeb served as The Union Leader’s hard-as-nails publisher from the late 1940s through the early 80s and was well known, and in some cases feared, for his scathing editorials.
Loeb was one of Powell’s allies through the governor’s three terms in office, until Powell refused to take Loeb’s advice to appoint Sen. Styles Bridges’ widow to the Senate after the senator passed away in office.

The legend was embodied by William Loeb, who ranted on the paper's pages from the time he bought it, in 1946, until 1981, when he died.
A hater of the worst sort, Loeb was so virulently anti-Semitic, according to Cash's book, that he once reproduced his baptismal certificate on the front page of the Burlington Daily News, a now-defunct Vermont newspaper he used to own, in response to rumors that he was Jewish.

 Empiricism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ideas of pragmatism, in its various forms, developed mainly from discussions that took place while Charles Sanders Peirce and William James were both at Harvard in the 1870's.
James popularized the term "pragmatism", giving Peirce full credit for its patrimony, but Peirce later demurred from the tangents that the movement was taking, and redubbed what he regarded as the original idea with the name of "pragmaticism".
Around the beginning of the 20th Century, William James (1842-1910) coined the term "radical empiricism" to describe an offshoot of his form of pragmatism, which he argued could be dealt with separately from his pragmatism - though in fact the two concepts are intertwined in James's published lectures.

These editorials were renowned for their vitriol, their extreme tone and the venom with which Loeb could attack.
To anyone considering a run for the presidency in the 1960s and 1970s, Loeb was a man to be feared and, if you were willing to sell your soul, to be courted.
Loeb’s importance came from the fact that during his tenure New Hampshire’s First in the Nation primary stood clearly as the most important race in the country.

William F. Wyatt now brings the Loeb's Iliad up to date, with a rendering that retains Murray's admirable style but is written for today's readers.
However, it is useful because if I read a passage from the Loeb, it forces me to realize what is wrong with it, so in a backwards way I have a better understanding of Homer because I know what is wrong with the Loeb and why the Lattimore is closer to accuracy.
Many Loeb volumes were originally issued in the early part of the twentieth century (the series was started in 1911) and so those which have not been updated can sound stilted to modern ears.

 Bush book: Chapter -16-
Loeb had assailed Ford as "Jerry the Jerk" in 1976; his attacks on Sen. Muskie reduced the latter to tears during the 1972 primary.
Loeb began to play up the theme of Bush as a liberal, as a candidate controlled by the "internationalist" (or Kissinger) wing of the GOP and the Wall Strreet bankers, always soft on communism and always ready to undermine liberty through Big Government here at home.
Loeb simplified all that: "George Bush is a Liberal" was the title of his editorial published the day before the primary.

Earl Douglas, a staunch Republican and mentor to a young Armstrong Williams, became a conservative columnist whose editorials “The Earl of Charleston” and “The Freedom Factor” were nationally syndicated.
William Loeb, publisher of The Manchester (New Hampshire) Union Leader, and conservative yet controversial Republican, who reportedly objected to the increase of the minorities in his own state, proudly ran Douglas’ columns and ultimately befriended Earl and Rosslee.
In a letter of 24 June 1980, Loeb wrote—“I am trying to help, but my contacts in the publishing business, outside my own newspaper, are just about nil.” He recommended Max Hugel, a Reagan staffer, and enclosed a copy of the letter sent to him on 24 June 1980.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Muskie for President?
WHEN WILLIAM LOEB, publisher of The Manchester, New Hampshire, Union Leader, spoke to the Harvard Republican Club last semester, he praised himself profusely for accomplishing in 1972 "the greatest public service" of his career--making Senator Edmund S. Muskie cry.
And the king whom William Loeb may have unintentionally announced could very well turn out to be the man he attempted to destroy in 1972--Senator Edmund Muskie.
If the Democrats do go for Muskie in '76, uniting under the theme that Muskie was cheated out of the election in 1972, William Loeb's "great public service" of three years ago may very well turn out to be the greatest private service ever performed for Edmund Muskie.
