Scholars have surmised that he wanted to quell criticism and to forestall regulation of his media properties. But internal documents from Time Inc. suggest that Luce was dismayed over what he considered major gaps in the report's philosophical argument, perhaps exacerbated by personal pique over having been excluded from Commission meetings. This is the first study of the Commission to use Time Inc.'s company files.
