Last week, Thomas L. Phillips, an influential conservative publisher, died at age 82. An entrepreneur, he was the publisher of a score of newsletters and magazines, including the weekly Human Events, the powerhouse conservative publisher Regnery and more.
An entrepreneur, he was the publisher of a score of newsletters and magazines, including the weekly Human Events , the powerhouse conservative publisher Regnery and the Conservative Book Club .Whatever endeavor he pursued or supported as a donor, it seemed, turned to gold.
A graduate of Dartmouth who later earned a masters' degree in journalism from American University in Washington D.C., the young Phillips worked for two major advertising companies in suburban Washington. The proverbial "client who paid the bills" was a newsletter that advised subscribers on their health.
Always a committed conservative and strongly influenced by columnist William F. Buckley, Jr., and 1964 Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater, Phillips in 1993 launched Eagle Publishing to publish journals and public policy outlets decidedly on the right. Later Eagle would add the Conservative Book Club, which offered classic conservative historical works mainstream book clubs missed or deliberately ignored.
When told I had no idea, Phillips replied without missing a beat: "What? You're supposed to know everything! What are they going to rule?"
