Meanwhile, as Scott battled with Kohn and Weir, Rolling Stone was not exactly suffering. The magazine enjoyed its richest publicity harvest since it sprang full-blown from the brow of Wenner in 1967, and an extra printing of 125,000 copies of the Hearst issue was selling fast...
...more concern for New Yorkers [Sept. 8] than they have for us? Chances are the grain growing around Kankakee puts food on New Yorkers' tables, and the pet food or the Sears appliances they buy were made here. Let New Yorkers be concerned about our weather at harvest time or the labor situations at our factories, and I'll gladly be concerned about their city's economic condition...
...were slaughtered at a Michigan garbage dump by tourists with rifles. A gang of rednecks with the latest electronic gear treed a bear, then watched hounds rip it apart. Explained the pack's leader: "We feel that they deserve a chew." A pert stewardess plunked down $500 to "harvest" her first buffalo; then she pointed to the hoofs: "Jim, did I want those for footstools?"

Rather than cut back on livestock and poultry output, Soviet leaders have elected to sell gold worth $636 million to get the cash to buy grain abroad. The ironic result is that although American consumers may be forced to pay more for food as a consequence of Soviet grain purchases, Soviet citizens will enjoy bread at artificially low fixed prices. They range in Moscow from 6? for a 1-lb. loaf of tasty black bread...
