Most of the successful city magazines have borrowed-some of them heavily-from the graphics, format and trendy chic of New York (circ. 364,000), the pacesetting weekly first published as an independent magazine by Clay Felker in 1967. (Felker had been its editor in an earlier and simpler incarnation, when it was a Sunday supplement of the now defunct New York Herald-Tribune.) Regular features akin to Felker's "The Underground Gourmet" (budget-minded restaurant reviews) and "The Passionate Shopper" are staple fare, and New York's penchant for parlor-game lists ("The Ten Worst Judges...
...Texas Monthly (circ. 185,000), based in Austin, is a city magazine that covers an entire state with an enthusiasm that reflects the youth of Publisher Michael Levy, 29, and Editor William Broyles, 31. Levy, a Wharton School of business graduate who had practically no journalism experience before starting Texas Monthly, gave up the idea of confining a magazine to Houston or Dallas because neither city seemed likely to provide a circulation of 100,000-the minimum he felt he needed to succeed.

As contenders in next month's New Hampshire primary will probably learn, William Loeb, 70, is a mean man to cross...
...Wimbledon last summer, Billie Jean King, 32, retired from competitive singles tennis, but she is busier?and richer?than ever. Last year's "retirement" schedule included sportscasting for ABC-TV, playing for the New York Sets in the World Team Tennis league and publishing her monthly womenSport magazine (circ. 200,000). With additional income from advertising endorsements, the King Enterprises group?the financial empire that Billie Jean reigns over with her very supportive husband Larry?will gross more than $1.5 million this year. "I lived on $90 a month as an amateur and I won't forget that...
