...tracing the author's infatuation with his employer back to his days on a U.S. Navy destroyer when he read the first issue of the magazine, which featured an interview of Donovan and a story on a dope bust of the Grateful Dead. Gushing lines of self-congratulation abound in the piece, such as "Ten years of Rolling Stone is the best history of the past ten years in America that I can think of." Or try this assertion on for size, if not downright smugness: "The growth of rock & roll journalism, which paralleled the growth of rock & roll...
...Movie is the attention paid to the audience. Most rock films throw in a shot of some wildly-shrieking pretty young thing in the front row to break up the action a little bit, but this movie has an unusual-and unusually good number of audience shots.

And the play admits its own artificiality along with the weaknesses we all have. Hopefully the carefully chosen Scenes from the Comedy of Errors at the Loeb Ex will show just that. Performances are tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday...
...good; though profits for the fiscal year that ended in June have not been tallied, Hefner says they were at least double fiscal 1976's. For the first nine months of the year, P.E.I, earned $5.6 million on sales of $169 million. But troubles still abound. Playboy magazine cut its circulation guarantee to advertisers from 5.4 million to 4.5 million, beginning with the October issue. Advertising, however, is picking up; the just-closed December issue boasts 154 ad pages, the most ever (although rates have been lowered...
