Even after the corrupt Chinese Nationalists slaughtered 20,000
Taiwanese in order to create a base after fleeing from Mao, Luce continued
to plug Chiang Kai-shek as a hero on many covers of Time. Clare Boothe Luce,
a Congresswoman and later ambassador to Italy, shared her husband's anti-
communism. Between them, they had so much power that even presidents such
as Lyndon Johnson had to be careful. Biographer Swanberg feels that the
Luce press was somewhat responsible for the Cold War, from Chiang through
Vietnam. This may be more true than Swanberg realizes: C.D. Jackson, who
published Life for Luce, was simultaneously a psychological warfare expert
for U.S. intelligence (his name also pops up in JFK assassination books).
But the CIA connection is not pursued by Swanberg, perhaps because this
book appeared too early, before many misdeeds were revealed in the 1970s.
