Hoping to pick up advertisers who would no longer be able to afford TIME Canada, the editors of Maclean's, the nation's largest monthly (circ. 900,000 in English-and French-language editions), acted two months ago to capitalize on the situation.

Editors of the counterculture's bible were not answering the phones in their Bay Area homes. Uniformed guards were posted at the biweekly's St. Louis printing plant. Randolph Hearst ordered a reporter at his San Francisco Examiner to find out whether the magazine's rumored scoop had anything to do with his daughter Patty. Rolling Stone Founder and Publisher Jann Wenner, 29, told the reporter no and branded the talk as empty...
