We’re beyond jazzed about The Man Time Forgot, Y2K YDN editor-in-chief Isaiah Wilner’s fun-formative romp through Time Inc.’s heady all-Ivy Twenties days.

The book details how Time co-founder Henry Luce stole all the credit and company shares for the magazine from Skull and Bones brother Briton Hadden … on Hadden’s deathbed, no less. It’s like This Side of Paradise without all the shit subplots and pro-Princeton superfluity! (This, despite David Propson calling The Man a “first book, and it shows” in a hilarious New York Observer review.)

This seems as good a time as ever to recap Wilner’s own shady history with journalistic ethics. Turns out Wilner was forced out of his YDN editorship for his alleged involvement in New Haven voter fraud! According to an October 1999 Rumpus “Remedial Media,” Wilner ran a week’s worth of puff pieces on his roommate Asit Gosar’s aldermanic campaign. Then Wilner minimized city section coverage of his roomie’s election chicanery, which involved Wilner and Gosar telling members of Pierson and Davenport College to vote for Gosar under their residential college addresses (as opposed to their real, off-campus ones in another ward). And Wilner recused himself from office only after Gosar’s opponent demanded a recount. For an abridged version, see this 1999 Yale Alumni Magazine short-take. Rumpus lovingly chronicled other charming encounters with Wilner here, here, and, oh, here.

For those of you chomping at the bit to see just what was in the homemade porn picture that got Dartmouth’s Alta Delta brothers into a little trouble this June, you’re straight out of luck: Local police suspended their investigation into the rumored 2003 sex tape a week ago, and say they don’t have enough evidence to make an arrest. Where’s CSI: Hanover when you need it?

Also, it sounds to us like The Dart doesn’t know shit about shit. “As of now,” Phil Salinger’s Aug. 15 piece says, “a pocket of the Dartmouth community, which includes much of the AD membership, knows the names of the two individuals involved in the case.” Which two?!? How you gonna cocktease us like that, Phil?

Regardless: Eh. Two extremely pale people having sex? Seen it.

And speaking of homemade porn that may or may not exist, the Dartmouth tape probably — Jesus, what tense is this supposed to be in? — couldn’t match the cinematic gold allegedly created last winter by the caretaker of Elihu, the Yale secret society. Rumpus reports [PDF]:
