...Amsterdam News (circ. 66,000) is the largest nonreligious black weekly (the Muslim Bilalian News, formerly Muhammad Speaks, claims a circulation of 583,000). For most of its 67 years, the Amsterdam News has catered to the middle-class aspirations of Harlem's business and professional people. It is sold 90% on the newsstand, and its blazing red front-page headlines stress crime and gossip. But the rest of its news comes in quieter hues: close attention to black politics, knowledgeable reviews of black art, music and books, a World of Work page that offers stories on the movements...
Every month, Psychology Today (circ. 1.1 million) tells Americans all they might want to know about sex, psychosurgery, biofeedback, insomnia, ultradian rhythms-indeed the whole galaxy of behavioral phenomena, from alienation to Zen. The magazine's success is due largely to its editor in chief and resident visionary since 1969, T (for nothing) George Harris. He turned a jargon-pocked and profitless publication into a Popular Mechanics of human behavior-eminently readable, visually stimulating and worth more than $2 million a year in net profit for its present owner, Ziff-Davis Publishing Co., which bought the magazine...
...husband died in 1971 and left her in command, could have rated herself as little more than a cub reporter. The morning daily does not have its own presses, rarely runs more than 20 pages an issue and has long been overshadowed by its afternoon competitor, the Times (circ. 45,000).

Things heated up considerably last week with the publication of The Battle for the Bible (Zondervan; $6.95). Its author: the Rev. Harold Lindsell, 62, editor of Christianity Today (circ. 118,000), the movement's most influential journal. True Evangelicals must believe that the Bible is completely error-proof or "inerrant," writes Lindsell, not only on doctrine and morals but on every detail of history and science. U.S. Evangelicalism, he warns, is being dangerously "infiltrated" by laxer views...
...policemen in front of me.") Though she probably hopes to pick up a few votes for her husband from the 11 to 12 million CB operators in the U.S., Betty has displeased at least one listener with her broadcasts. Earl Stevens, editor of the National CB Truckers' News (circ. 250,000), last week accused First Mama of rustling votes over the Citizen's Band airwaves-a violation, says he, of federal regulations. Fearful that campaigners might clog the air, Stevens has called on the FCC to prevent politicians from rendering "our CB radios useless in election years...
