TIME has always been regarded as the brainchild of founder Henry Luce. But is it possible that Briton Hadden, the co-founder of TIME, who died in 1929 at the age of 31, was actually more influential in the creation of the magazine than Luce? That's the contention of Isaiah Wilner, 28, the author of the newly published The Man Time Forgot: A Tale of Genius, Betrayal, and the Creation of Time Magazine (HarperCollins). In writing his book, Wilner was given full access to Time Inc.'s voluminous archives. TIME's publishing reporter, Andrea Sachs, spoke with Wilner...

He came up with the idea in the early stages of his childhood, so the newsmagazine was really something that sprang from his soul.

Luce, TIME's co-founder and editor-in-chief, had drafted a plan for an overseas organization for Time Inc. as early as 1943. At the end of the war, Charles D. Jackson, a vice president of the company who had been on the staff of General Dwight D. Eisenhower in Europe...
...stepgrandson of Henry Luce, the cofounder of this magazine. That's true. In fact, I knew him well. Henry III was my stepfather. My mom [Claire McGill] married Hank when I was 10. It was really a head-whipper. It was very confusing for me to move from 3 1/2 rooms on the border of Spanish Harlem to a 20-room duplex on Madison Avenue...
