Retrospective of TIME's reporting of the personalities and events of the past six decades. Made in collaboration with TIME editors and representatives of the publisher's office, and checked for accuracy by reporter-researchers in the manner of TIME stories. 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.
