Partners, plural? Tom Doherty and who else?

Tom Doherty? Really?


My unreliable memory suggests that it was Charles Stross who
told me that on rasff:

and I found corroboration:

http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue289/interview.html

"Tom Doherty is a legend within the publishing community. Before
establishing Tor Books, which is one of the most popular and influential
science-fiction publishers of all time, Doherty teamed up with Ian
Ballantine to help launch J.R.R. Tolkien in the United States. He's a
partner in Baen Books and a man whom everyone seems to know and respect."
