Talk:Cleveland Amory

Vegetarian?

This article is part of the American vegetarians category, can anyone cite a reference to his being a vegetarian? I have always been a fan of Amory, and being a vegetarian and animal rights activist myself, I was always surprised that none of his books or any I read about him ever made reference to his being a vegetarian. I always assumed he was, but was never sure. Many animal rights activists are not actually vegetarian; unless someone can offer evidence that he was, I suggest he be removed from this category.

I have heard and read that anecdotally, that he was dragged into vegetarianism when he was on the Board of the New England Anti-Vivisection Society.MaynardClark (talk) 22:41, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Cleanup

This article reads terribly. Chronology is out of order and facts are arbitrarily placed anywhere. Sentences are phrased haphazardly. For being notable as a writer, Mr. Armory deserves more respect with a well written submission. Any takers? 99.32.160.175 (talk) 03:47, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

I did a quick cleanup on it tonight. It was extremely difficult to follow. It also left out huge portions of Amory's actual career as a journalist and commentator. Even though he is now famous for his "Cat" books and for animal rights, this is a biography and it needs to recognize that he was initially famous for writing those books about society and celebrities, which is how he made all those rich and famous friends who contributed to his animal causes down the line. The current version is far from perfect - there is still a lot that is missing or really should be expanded upon, and there are dozens of great sources on Amory that are not in this article which seems to rely on about three. However, at least now it is not a big muddled un-chronological wall o' text. Sometime maybe I'll come back and improve it later, but I'm dealing with about five other articles right now so this was just a quick job because like you said, Amory deserved better.

TV critic

Amory was the regular TV Guide television critic with a full-back page column for several years, which he sometimes used to further his animal rights views but usually just provided critical commentary on TV programs in a fairly conventional manner. He also presented on an annual basis his proposed winners in various Emmy categories which he called "The Amories". This should be mentioned in the article; almost any issue of TV Guide from the late 60's to the mid 70's will verify this. 2600:1004:B126:F:64:E265:905C:3812 (talk) 03:18, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
