Includes March of Time archival film and quotes from TIME's contemporaneous judgments. Provides behind-the-scenes insights into the publication's history, like the origin of Man of the Year, TIME's early writing style of backward-running sentences and neologisms like "tycoon" and "socialite" that are now English vernacular, and canceled cover stories.
