He studied at the University of Nevada before going on to earn an M.S. and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Illinois. In 1944, Ogle went to work on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos. He stayed on after the war to work at the Los Alamos National Laboratory for more than 25 years, and worked on every nuclear test in Nevada and in the Marshall Islands during that time. During Operation Ivy, the first American hydrogen bomb test, Ogle served as scientific commander. Time (stylized in all caps) is an American news magazine published and based in New York City. For nearly a century, it was published weekly. Time has been based in New York City since its first issue published on March 3, 1923, by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce. It was the first weekly news magazine in the United States. The two had previously worked together as chairman and managing editor, respectively, of the Yale Daily News. They first called the proposed magazine Facts, wanting to emphasize brevity so a busy man could read it in an hour. They changed the name to Time and used the slogan "Take Time - It's Brief". Hadden was considered carefree and liked to tease Luce. He saw Time as important but also fun, which accounted for its heavy coverage of celebrities and politicians, the entertainment industry and pop culture, criticizing it as too light for serious news. Time set out to tell the news through people, and until the late 1960s, the magazine's cover depicted a single person. The first issue of Time featured Joseph G. Cannon, the retired Speaker of the House of Representatives, on its cover. On Hadden's death in 1929, Luce became the dominant man at Time and a major figure in the history of 20th century media. After Time magazine began publishing its weekly issues in March 1923, Roy Larsen was able to increase its circulation by using U.S. radio and movie theaters around the world. It often promoted both Time magazine and U.S. political and corporate interests. According to The March of Time, as early as 1924, Larsen had brought Time into the infant radio business with the broadcast of a 15-minute sustaining quiz show entitled Pop Question which survived until 1925". Then in 1928, Larsen "undertook the weekly broadcast of a 10-minute program series of brief news summaries, drawn from current issues of Time magazine ... which was originally broadcast over 33 stations throughout the United States". Larsen next arranged for the 30-minute radio program The March of Time to be broadcast over CBS beginning on March 6, 1931. Each week, the program presented a dramatization of the week's news for its listeners; thus Time magazine itself was brought "to the attention of millions previously unaware of its existence", leading to an increased circulation of the magazine during the 1930s. Between 1931 and 1937, Larsen's The March of Time radio program was broadcast over CBS radio, and between 1937 and 1945, it was broadcast over NBC radio - except between 1939 and 1941, when it was not aired. People magazine was based on Time's "People" page., Time, Inc, 1962, 2.5, Doubleday, Page & Company. Very Good. 1918. Softcover. A Very Good edition that is generally worn from life on the shelf.
