 Truthdig - The Betrayal at the Heart of Time Magazine
Wilner: Hadden and Luce had started Time with the idea that people were too busy to read all the news that was coming out in papers, radio, film, and that people needed somebody to boil it down and make sense of it.
Hadden insisted on remaining the editor for the vast majority of the time, and Luce badly wished to edit, but he was forced to basically balance the budget.
And this is what Hadden was inspired by: Hadden was inspired by Homer and the idea that the Iliad, because it personified the past, the epic past of the Ancient Greeks, it was the national story line.

 On The Media: Transcript of "The Man Time Forgot" (October 20, 2006)
His name was Briton Hadden, an eccentric, electric visionary who first dreamed up the idea of a news digest written in short, punchy prose.
Well, actually, when Hadden died, there was a fl notebook that was found among his things, and on one page, titled "Expansion," he had written all of his ideas for the future of the company.
Hadden had not only come up with the idea, he had hired all of the writers, developed the writing style, and it's strange that this would happen, because they were such great friends.

  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Briton Hadden
Hadden and Luce launched their magazine in a time when a young nation stood open to the influence of adventurers and iconoclasts, people with new ideas of how the world should be run and the courage, ambition, and drive to make their dreams reality.
Hadden's ideas were so influential that a single page from one notebook found among his things after his death would serve as a virtual road map for the next half-century of the company he founded.
At Yale, Hadden was elected to the staff of the Yale Daily News and later served as the paper's chairman twice (1917-1918 and 1919-1920).

Time was co-founded in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the United States.
After Hadden died in 1929, Larsen purchased 550 shares of Time Inc., using money he obtained from selling RKO stock which he had inherited from his father, who was the head of the B.F. Keith theatre chain in New England.
However, after Briton Hadden's death, the largest Time Inc. stockholder was Henry Luce, who ruled the media conglomerate in an autocratic fashion, "at his right hand was Larsen," Time Inc.'s second-largest stockholder, according to "Time Inc.: The Intimate History of a Publishing Enterprise 1923-1941".

 The Man Time Forgot
Hadden, who had only just begun the creative revolution that would transform journalism in the subsequent century, had drunk and partied his way to his deathbed.
In this dark hour, the most frequent visitor to Hadden's bedside, aside from his devoted mother, was a tall, thin man with slightly hooded eyes framed by a pair of thick, bushy eyebrows, a receding line of straw-colored hair, and an open, angelic face.
Hadden's heart gave out one month later-six years, almost to the hour, since he had sent the first copy of Time to press.

 The Man Time Forgot   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Hadden's business partner, Henry R. Luce, was penetrating where Hadden was witty, analytical where Hadden was creative, organized and careful where Hadden was spontaneous and reckless.
One rumor passed along by Luce's detractors was that he broached the question as Hadden lay dying-an awkward matter that would have abruptly shocked Hadden with the full gravity of his rapidly deteriorating condition.
Carr, who didn't have much experience with estates, took out a piece of paper and simply wrote, "I, Briton Hadden, declare this to be my last will and testament." He must have strained to hear his friend, who was speaking so quietly by then that he could hardly express his desires at all.

Luce and Hadden met at Hotchkiss prep school, where, as editors of the newspaper, they began a rivalry of competitive ideas on news delivery that continued when they both went to Yale, sparking a lifetime of tension over competition and collaboration.
Hadden, from a wealthy family, was outgoing and audacious.
When Hadden dies at the age of thirty-one, Luce begins to bury the legacy of the giant he was never able to best.

 The Man Time Forgot
Hadden was one of those gifted sons of privilege who reaped the full benefits of the age before meritocracy.
Hadden frequented speakeasies, wore torn sweaters to high-society functions and liked to organize baseball games as a break from intellectual labor.
Luce and Hadden were classmates at both Hotchkiss and Yale before founding Time, and though Luce excelled as a student, Hadden had him licked in everything else.

 Barnes & Noble.com - Books: The Man Time Forgot, by Isaiah Wilner, Hardcover
When Briton Hadden died, in 1929, at the age of thirty-one, he had earned a million dollars, invented the radio quiz show, coined the terms “socialite” and “pundit,” and seismically changed American journalism by conceiving of the weekly news magazine Time.
His solidly researched narrative follows both men from 1898-when Hadden was born to money, Luce to missionaries-but focuses on the years during which their stories merged, beginning in prep school at Hotchkiss and continuing to Yale and Time.
The author believes that Luce and Hadden, though competitive, were also deeply attached-"love" is a word he uses to characterize their relationship.

 deseretnews.com | 'Forgot' tells about the other founder of Time
Soon Wilner was reading not only Hadden's writing, but that attributed to Henry Luce, the other half of the team that founded Time magazine in 1923 before either had arrived at the age of 25.
Wilner found Hadden to be "a Promethean figure with many original ideas and only six years to develop them (before he died of a mysterious illness).
Hadden and Luce had an intellectual friendship, a meeting of the minds.

 Steve Goddard's History Wire: Book Alert / The Man Time Forgot
Hadden, Wilner's predecessor in title about 1920, was identified as the co-founder of Time, which sounded strange, since everyone knows Henry Luce founded this iconic magazine.
In fact, Wilner asserts, Hadden and Luce were both friends and rivals from their days at Yale and together raised the capital to create Time in 1923.
It was unrealistic for Hadden's dead hand to keep equal control with Luce of the magazine for nearly a half-century after he died.

Therefore the original bearers of the surname Hadden resided near or on a heather-covered hill.

 deseretnews.com | Time's 'secret genius' gets due
It seems fitting that Isaiah Wilner, a freshly minted Ph.D. in history from Yale —; not yet out of his 20s — should give Briton Hadden, the man who conceived the idea for Time magazine while he was still in his 20s — his due.
When Hadden slept little while working and playing so hard that his body developed a mysterious illness for which he was hospitalized, Luce went to see him nearly every day.
Then when Hadden died at the age of 31, Luce erased his name from the masthead and kept Hadden's genius and contribution to the rise of Time a secret.

 Lost to the Sands of Time - October 9, 2006 - The New York Sun
That would be Briton Hadden, the brilliant and mercurial editor who had the misfortune of, first, dying young, and, last, having an insecure and disloyal business partner in Henry Luce.
All this is probably very important to Hadden's family and any of his friends who may still be alive.And it is certainly a worthwhile footnote in the long history of the world's largest publishing and news conglomerate.
It is an intuitive talent and one that Hadden and Luce possessed to an astounding degree.

 AJR - Giving a Forgotten Visionary His Due
By 31, he was dead, from a virulent blood infection that, in the kind of quirky twist his magazine traded on, he blamed on being scratched by a stray tomcat.
The editor in question was not Henry Luce, the visionary now most associated with Time's empire, but Briton Hadden, Luce's partner, childhood chum and lifelong rival.
Although Hadden's will left his Time stock to his family with instructions that it not be sold for 49 years, Luce succeeded in gaining the stock "at a bargain basement price" within a year.

Hadden and Luce were just 24 years old when they began work on Time at the outset of the Roaring Twenties.
A millionaire at thirty, Hadden died tragically at 31.
He was also the originator of 'Timestyle' journalism — news as a pageant of outsized personalities, punchy narratives, colorful details, Homeric cadences and sly, urbane drolleries, where 'heroes and villains strode through the world, raising voices, slamming fists, firing guns' — which readers found enthralling and critics shallow and misleading.
