Norman Cahners
Norman Lee Cahners (1914–1986) was a major American publisher and philanthropist. The Cahners Publishing Company, which he founded in 1960, had grown into the largest U.S. publisher of trade or business magazines at the time of Cahner's death, three weeks before he was scheduled to retire. Cahners Publishing survived into the early 2000s as Cahners Business Information, a division of the British and Dutch-based Reed Elsevier publishing empire. The company was renamed Reed Business Information (U.S) in 2002, and its headquarters moved from Boston to New York.
==Early life==
Cahners was born in Bangor, Maine, the son of James A. Cahners, described in one source as a "businessman, publisher, lawyer, artist, and management consultant". The father owned the Bangor Gas Company and Eastern Furniture Company, and lived on Broadway.〔James Terry White, ed., ''The National Cyclopedia of Biography'', vo. 49 (1967), p. 43〕 The younger Cahners attended Phillips Academy and then Harvard, where he became a leading track & field athlete. He and team captain Milton Green qualified for the trials to join the U.S. Olympic Team in 1936, but boycotted that event because the games were to be held in Nazi Germany. Cahners and Green were both Jewish, and their position was widely supported by American Jewish organizations. As if in compensation, Cahners was one of two Harvard undergrads selected to speak at the Harvard Tercentenery Ceremonies in 1936, before an audience of 10,000 alumni, and over a worldwide radio hook-up.〔''Harvard Crimson'', May 20, 1936〕 Cahners was also elected president of the Harvard Class of 1936 and was later inducted into the Harvard Varsity Athletic Hall of Fame.
