Phillips, Chairman and President of Phillips International, Inc. ; Phillips is also founder, Chairman, and a Director of Eagle Publishing, Inc. , which includes as divisions the Conservative Book Club and Christian Book Club, and, as a subsidiary, Regnery Publishing Co., , which runs Regnery Press, "The country’s leader in philosophically conservative books...", including Patrick J.
