...this month, as its own new entry in the man-catcher sweepstakes. Both will compete directly with their own stablemates. But by offering lower ad rates ($2,800 a color page), based on a guaranteed circulation of 1,000,000 each, the two new magazines expect to attract a flock of would-be advertisers who are being priced out of the women's market...

Others sulk if management does not readily...
