I don't know why this link was there. I brought it over when I moved the info from the Ann Landers article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyranny Sue (talkcontribs) 15:13, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Politics

[edit]
Lederer and friend campaigned against Joseph McCarthy in Wisconsin?! (To be added when I have time. Seems very notable information to me.)

Quote from page 4, 'Dear Ann' article [1] :
She discovered Democratic politics in Wisconsin and, with Brigham, helped elect the first Democrat from their district. "We wrote radio scripts and went door to door," Brigham recalls. In a tough contest, Eppie was elected county Democratic chairman. That was the heyday of the Wisconsin senator Joseph McCarthy, and the two women campaigned against him. "I think we were too dumb or too naïve to realize that it could be dangerous to oppose Joe McCarthy," recalls Brigham. "We just went at it as if we knew what we were doing."

I've seen mention in various places that "Ann Landers" was a Director on the board of Handgun Control, Inc. (now the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence,)

usually along with the quote, "No one has the right to destroy another person's belief by demanding empirical evidence." I haven't yet been able to locate a cite for the quote or the years she was a director. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.12.250.150 (talk) 23:43, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Eppie FriedmanAnn Landers — Has anyone ever called her "Eppie Friedman" since 1939? This article is clearly at the wrong title. I propose a move to Ann Landers, the name by which she was known for the majority of her life. Powers T 15:10, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Eppie FriedmanEppie Lederer — If not "Ann Landers", then at least this change needs to be made. No one has called her Eppie Friedman since she was married in 1939, which is before she became famous. I expect this should be uncontroversial, but given the above discussion, I can't be sure. Powers T 13:46, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Retirement?

[edit]

From the article's lead: "After her retirement, she became a profile-raiser for several medical charities." What retirement? Further down the page, it says she wrote the column up until her death in 2002, so when did she have time to retire? — CWesling (talk) 23:13, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Eppie"

[edit]

If this article is entitled "Eppie Lederer," why is her sister's entitled "Pauline Phillips" instead of "Popo Phillips"? Kostaki mou (talk) 18:53, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably Eppie remained Esther Pauline's use name as an adult, while Pauline Esther dropped Popo, nor did others call her that.
The mid-career biography by her daughter is Eppie: the story of Ann Landers (Putname, 1982), LCCN 82-3816.

"Julius"

[edit]

Eppie called her husband Jules, if we correctly quote her column announcing the divorce. Jules Lederer has been a WP:REDLINK in the lead for their daughter Margo Howard--which I will fix momentarily, one way or another, to target Julius Lederer (businessman) as this article does.

We lead his biography, "Jules Lederer (1917–1999) was an American business executive ..." without comment anywhere on the page. --P64 (talk) 20:14, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here, with the bluelink in place, I replaced marri[age] to "Julius Lederer, a business executive" with "Jules or Julius Lederer, who became a business executive". We say that he left school at age 13, imply that he was 22 when they married, and don't mention any particular executive role before the 1950s.
