Illinois Attorney General Neil Hartigan's home was visited late at night by a group of LaRouche followers who chanted, sang, and used a bullhorn "to exorcise the demons out of Neil Hartigan's soul".

In 1984 a reporter for a LaRouche publication buttonholed President Ronald Reagan as he was leaving a White House press conference, demanding to know why LaRouche was not receiving Secret Service protection.

In his stories and magazine features, Rennie was an early booster of the Yankees’ first baseman and slugger Lou Gehrig, who had joined the team in 1923 and enjoyed his breakout season in 1926. When in 1936 it was noted in the media that Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller was retiring from his long screen role as Tarzan the Ape Man in the Hollywood films memorializing the hero of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ novels, with urging by Gehrig's wife Eleanor (for whom Rennie had ghosted a magazine article), as well as his agent, Rennie promoted his friend Lou Gehrig's cause in Hollywood as an actor. He helped arrange photography shoots (Gehrig in a leopard-skin and wielding a cave-man's club) and screen tests of the muscular first baseman; he buttonholed agents, producers such as Sol Lesser, and Hollywood columnists such as Louella Parsons in a publicity campaign to boost Gehrig's chances. The slugger himself was unenthusiastic about swinging from jungle vines and wrestling lions, but he told Rennie that he wouldn’t say no to a man-of-the-people role in a western or mystery picture.
