Clare Boothe Luce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1271 words) |
 | Luce won reelection to a second term in the House in 1944 and was instrumental in the creation of the Atomic Energy Commission and began warning against the growing threat of international Communism. |
| Luce's support was rewarded with an appointment as ambassador to Italy, confirmed by the senate in March 1953. |
| Not long afterward, Luce fell seriously ill with arsenic poisoning caused by paint chips falling from the stucco that decorated her bedroom ceiling, and was forced to resign in 1956. |
