Epic & Titillating. If conscience and commitment led Henry Luce into journalism in the first place, his Yankee ancestry drove him hard to do well at it.* "The bitch goddess," he said, "sat in the outer office." With his Yalemate and co-founder of TIME Briton Hadden, Luce realized after World War I that Americans as a nation were more aware than ever of world problems?"but that their knowledge didn't equal their interest."
