Talk:William Agee

Family estrangement[edit]

Is there a citation for his estrangement with his kids from his first marriage? I can't find mention of that in the references already included, but it was added pretty early on in the editing of this article. Thanks. - Owlmonkey (talk) 22:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, another editor removed that section as unsourced. If any of Mr. Agee's three children from his first marriage watch this article - especially Bobby - I would love to get back in touch. - Owlmonkey (talk) 06:59, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

The Titans of Takeover By Robert Slater has some really interesting commentary and relevant sections can be viewed on google books. - Owlmonkey (talk) 00:17, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look for less critical sources. Many that I found though were somewhat sensational and popularist, even if they come from reputable, fact checked organizations and publishers. So there will likely need to be a little room in this article to acknowledge that history and some notoriety to be truly encyclopedic. Even if that feels a little uncomfortable. As a popular figure in the 80's, Mr. Agee did have quite a few people comment about him and his business dealings and it wasn't all positive, right? How did you know about that libel suit? Were you intimately involved per chance? - Owlmonkey (talk) 05:32, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph evidently misplaced in editing[edit]

The phrase "It was an era of corporate takeovers, and on the surface, the acquisition would have been a solid business move." referes to "the acquisition" but up to this point the subject acquisition has not been discussed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.214.222.43 (talk) 21:57, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Except that the aquisitee did not want to be taken over, so in the process of ruining another company that wanted to have nothing to do with him, Mr Agee also ruined Bendix. Two venerable, reputable, pillars of US manufacturing destroyed because of the ego of one total jerk. Whoopee. If someone could add the location of his grave to this article I'd appreciate it. That way next time I am near I could piss on it. 203.160.80.92 (talk) 17:01, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
